air bubble

[boistheman]

just a minute ago i forgot to thumb the needle to get the air out and accidentily injected it into my delt is anything wrong w/ that? (but every thing went smooth other than me being worried about that.)

You'll be fine.

[RJM03]

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.

Takes 20cc of air IN A VEIN to kill you - you will be fine

[TBTITS]

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
