You'll be fine.
are you still breathing? If so, then just be careful next time.
As long as you aspirated you're fine. Otherwise you're lucky you missed a vein because you're still standing. You're fine either way but this reinforces the need to aspirate. A little air in the muscle won't hurt you though.
an im injection requires at least .1cc of air to help distribute the medication. but like e said if u dont aspirate and accidently inject into an artery u wouldnt have been startin this thread.
Your lucky....as everyone else has stated, if your still talking and reading this right now your ok. Otherwise you probably would've suffered a major heart attack. Make sure your more careful from now on.
thumb the needle, what does he mean ?:|
i meant thump my bad thanx for that replies and i will try to be careful next time
Takes 20cc of air IN A VEIN to kill you - you will be fine
The amount of air you injected is probably veeery small, so dont sweat it.
20cc of air in a vein to kill you? hmm u sure? i sware there was an arguement about this before lol some dude said it was a high amt and another saying it was like 3cc,
if its 20cc thats fine, the syringes we use dont even hold 20cc:)
