A member asked:
Rocephin by iv everyday for 21 days. can a few air bubbles in my line for this amount of days harm me? i noticed some every time. an inch or so.

No problem, no worry: A small amount of air in an IV line isn't a problem. It would take a hundred times that amount of air to cause a problem. Don't worry about it. Best wishes for success in treating your infection.
