Well i had a serious infection and was in the hospital for two weeks with IV antibiotics. I use to sit and watch huge air bubbles slowly work their way into my arm and guess what, Nothing happened. I talked to a few doctors at the time and they said its no big deal. They told me of a 11yr. that had an IV and their was air being pumped into his vein for around 20min before anyone noticed, and all that happened was he began to get dizzy!

True because the air would have to be pushed into your vien at a extremely fast rate an IV veno set or burrette are controlled in the amount they can deliever, even a shock dose of 1000cc's dex to a diabetic patient still takes around 15 min to give the whole liter.
