I just forgot to aspirate my syringe before I shot and injected air subQ. Is this a big deal? It doesn't hurt but there's a little bump and it bled a tiny bit. It worries me.

The injection site is red but that's not abnormal for me

You dont need to aspirate Sub-q

Thanks guys. The reason I was worried is it wasn't just a little bubble. It was like a whole 1/10 of a ml of air. I just wasn't thinking lol. But glad its not a biggie. Thanks again fellas!

I never Aspirate, actually i always leave a bit of air in the sryinge to push that last bit out of the pin.

You can shoot an entire 10cc syringe of air into any tissue including directly into a vein and nothing will happen. An artery is a different story though.

3) Injection:



a. Locate the area you’re going to inject (always into the body of the muscle)
i. Top outer area of your glute (see Figure 5)
ii. Out side area of your upper quad (see Figure 6)
b. Disinfect the skin with alcohol
Betadine)
c. Relax the muscle and Pump yourself up… get ready!
d. Insert the needle quickly at a 90 degree angle (straight in) Be careful not to go too deep, only about 1/2 way.
e. Aspirate to check if you are on a vein. If you see blood entering the syringe you will need to pull out and try again. (see Figure 8a-8b)
f. Inject slowly! This is usually not a problem since it hurts to go fast.
g. Hold the plunger down and withdraw the needle. Press on the site with some sterile cotton.
h. Give yourself a High 5!
i. Always look for irritation, redness, or excessive bleeding. If you are going to have a problem you will usually know pretty quick.

Hope this help's and you might want to aspirate only takes a sec and if don't and it does get in to a vein you'll be pretty sic won't die but definitely sic.
