A member asked:
I'm wondering how much time does it take to die from air embolism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Air embolism: It all depends on the amount of air embolized. If large enough, cardiac arrest can happen immediately. Generally, if some lives through the immediate event they should eventually recover. It also depends on the way that the air embolism occurred.
