The start of this post is mainly for newbies, as I had my bloodiest injection ever yesterday and if it had happened to me in my first course I would have COMPLETELY freaked out. The end has a few questions for the vets that I'd appreciate good info on.
Once in the distant past I thought I may have injected into a vein just because a few minute spots of blood had run up the pin.
I've had shiver-sweat-coughs post injection before; that I've heard may have been the EQ, or some token amount of oil getting into the bloodstream.
But yesterday I had a nice easy 3mils of sus250 straight into my right buttcheck, pulled the pin out and had a really thin, awesome, jet of blood spray out of my butt. It sprayed my bed before I could react, I clamped my had over it (instant red hand) and then applied pressure with pre-prepared tissues. Bleeding then stopped within seconds. Something similar had happened to my training partner once so I wasn't too concerned.
So if you're a newbie and that does happen to you: don't freak you're not going to die.
But it did inspire me to pay good attention to aspiration in the future.
BUT: if you ever DO inject into a vein how quickly would you know? Would it feel different going in? Could you inject a little, pause, and know if it was safe? Is a ml of oil into a vein certain death? Certain ambulance trip? Or certain fear of injectables?
Any info appreciated.
