    Aspirating injections. An injection question.

    So ill be starting up some of these injectable vitamins for the first time ever this Sunday. Ive read a ton about how you need to put the pin in, and then pull back on the lunger to see if you draw in any blood. If there IS blood, then you need to pull out and start over with a new needle, etcetera. How many of you do this? How common is it to hit a large blood vessel when injecting in the proper places?

    I have apspirated and drawn blood 3 times, this is over the course of 100's of injections. A pretty low ratio, however i am glad i did aspirate on those 3 speacial occasions!

    It only takes a second to do, so why not?

    Correct.
    And i wouldnt think about injecting without aspirating. I hardly ever hit a vein, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

    Aspirating is so 1999.

    That was the last time I tried it.

    Do you play Russian Roulette with a loaded gun?? Injecting without Aspirating is the same thing. It only takes once to kill you. An air embolism to your heart or lung and you will look buff in ur suit and casket.

    how far back do you have to pull to aspirate ? If blood shows up, do you push the blood back in, and put the needle in again? If you aspirate and no blood shows, what IS coming up?

    For you guys that don't aspirate , wait until you that one unlucky injection that you do inject into a vein. Not sure if any of you know what a panic or anxiety attack feels like, because that's the best way I can explain it.

    It happen to me twice and I can honestly say I thought I was going to die, seriously, very scary shit.

    If you aspirate and blood comes up just pull out and go somewhere else. How far to pull back should be personal selection. If im using a 3cc Ill pull back about .5cc. If no blood aspirates your not pulling anything out. As long as your doing IM you shouldnt pull anything, hence the negative pressure in the syringe. I never shoot without aspirating. Too many risks.

    Usually a couple of air bubbles.

    lets say blood does show up, you pull the needle out, put in somewhere else, do you aspirate again? with blood still in the syringe? just thinking of worst case scenario haha. And when drawing from a vial, i've see that you inject air into the vial first... how much air, the full 3 cc's?

    I've always heard inject as much air as oil you are drawing. So you are wanting to inject 2cc, then you will draw 2cc of air into syringe and inject that into vial.

    I aspirated once a few weeks ago and I had a little blood come into it, but I just moved it anyway, I think I hit a small capillary or somethin.

    I hope you know, that's a myth.

    4 injections since my last post, and I'm still alive.
