"In most cases, it will require at least 50 mL of air to result in significant risk to life,
however, there are case studies in which 20 mLs or less of air rapidly infused into
the patient’s circulation has resulted in a fatal air embolism."
Short answer no...

Most certainly yes, it is possible. I think common sense tells us If you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. Purposely use non sterile needles and you can get yourself an infection and in rare cases could lead to death if left untreated
I do agree with anything is possible...Quote:
