Injection ?

[GetPissed]

Just curious what would happen if you were to shoot 1/2 cc of air into your butt while shooting juice at the same time?

A nurse told me you would have to shoot at least 3cc's of air during a injection to be at any risk.

Didn't you just answer your own question?

You would have a 1/2 of sterile air in your butt...............

It gets absorbed fairly quickly

So why do people make a big deal about air bubbles when shooting?

Because if you shoot it in a vein and it goes to your heart or brain you are fu@#%^!

Good question and I have no idea. Some do it as a matter of practice. They will have a small amount of air in the syringe to make sure the full amount goes in. In theory, those people that are doing eod injections of 1/2 cc could waste product over 30 injections by leaving it in the needle. Puting a small amount of air in makes sure it all goes in.

Venous and arterial blood can absorb large amounts of free air before "vapor locking " becomes an issue. Air embolisms from small amounts of free air in IM injections is an "urban myth".

Shouldn't be an issue. How hard is it to get the air out? Not hard at all.

Heh.. people need to use better titles for their threads. Would save some time for some of us.
