Loading air in to the syringe?

[baseline_9]

I've always drawn about 0.2mL of air into the syringe to help push the oil in. To be honest I don't even aspirate anymore. I've hot a vein on occasion, and while it isn't an enjoyable experience, it's no big deal and a rarity too.

Dude this is not cool...

Bad practice

Always aspirate.... Its like not wearing a seat belt.... Just because you have gotten away with it before doesnt mean you should do it all the time...

Based on rarely it occurs and how little of a threat it poses, it's never been a major concern. After so many injections it quickly becomes evident where the veins and nerves are. As long as I'm not in a hurry, it's pretty easy to push a smooth injection.
