Sub-q inject air bubbles

[--->>405<<---]

yall are prob gonna think im a real idiot for asking this question and im pretty sure i know the answer. its more for confirmation than information (maybe a little info ).

last nite i was injecting my hcg and was kind of tired and full and feeln lazy so when i was drawing the liquid into the syringe noticed i was about empty in the vial. so i corrected and sucked the rest out that i needed basically emptying the vial.

after this i injected it into my stomach as usual and then once i was done had the thought: " did i get all the air out of the syringe?" LOL

needless to say i was a bit concerned even though i know u have to inject air directly into a vein to have a problem right? i suppose my question has 2 parts:

1. can i put myself at risk injecting air sub-q? (if yes how much would it take?)

2. how much air would it take in a vein?

from now on i will def be more deliberate!

You would definitely know right away if an air bubble has entered your system. This has happened to me only once while i was a newbie. Immediately after pinning a tiny bubble went in immediately i felt light headed and was passing out. I quickly pulled the syringe out and managed to fall on my bed. Thank GOD i was ok after a few minutes. I have never ever done anything like that again. It only takes one time bro.

From personal experience, I was in the hospital once and saw a large air bubble (at least 1cm long) in the IV tube leading to my hand/wrist/arm (can't remember which). I was alarmed, and pointed it out to the nurse. She laughed it off and said it would have to be a lot bigger to kill me. That didn't reassure me, and I watched in some horror as it entered my arm. I swear I felt it run up my arm to my shoulder. After that I felt nothing; I guess it was absorbed or broken down by my body. And I'm still here 22 years later.

I do my own hcg and T pins, and I swear there's always one TINY little bubble I can never get rid of, no matter what I try.....

air bubble will not make you fell what you've described, most likely you've injected in a vein.

405, i wouldn't worry about it, like you said there are no veins in the fat, and if you injected air in the fat your body will break it down.

I do my 4mg of test and B12 by subq. Never a problem since it goes into the adipose tissue. Seen blood a few times when giving my husband injections by IM, but caught it with aspirating. Subq makes that part of it real easy to work with.

In medical literature, the MINIMUM reported amount of air needed to cause an issue is 30cc pumped straight into a vein (but most sources will say well over 100cc). And that's going to be an 85 year old woman with 20 health problems (your typical hospital patient). Patients get pumped with entire IV lines full of air by accident all the time without issue.
Worrying about injecting air is a joke, unless you're shooting straight for the carotid artery.

I actually make sure I have an air bubble at the plunger end to make sure I get all the T cyp out of the syringe. It won't hurt you.

only time to worry is IV.

think of it this way, and then you will feel better.

when they do heart surgery, and your sternum is split wide open, and then after they stitch you up, right? there is no way in hell they get all the air out of your cavity. a helluva lot more than a bubble or two. I'm willing to bet at least 10ml of air when they stitch yyou back up.

so a little airbubble underneath your skin is absolutely "No Problemo"
