A member asked:
Doctors, do you think i can die from having air in a syringe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the syringe is in the skin or muscle probably not. If it is in a vein yes air can kill you. The volume of air would have to be more than a few cc,s so a bubble likely will have no harm . The air will act like an embolus or clot traveling to the lungs
