When air from a needle is injected?

Resolved Question

When air from a needle is injected?

What happens? Do you die instantley? Do you stop breathing or what? Basically I want to know what happens. What would happen to the doctor? What if it was suicide with a needle full of air? What happens once the air is in the blood? How long does it take to die? Can you stop it once it's been injected??

the air travels to your heart RAPIDLY and you die. i don't think you can do anything to stop it once it's injected. the doctor would definitely be sued for malpractice and most likely loose their liscense to practice.

  • Hmmm, pretty morbid questions there, are you contemplating murder? Can't say what would happen with a full syringe of air, but I know that if you get a little air during an I.V. its doesn't have a bad effect. In answer to your other questions, assisted suicide is still murder in most states, maybe all of them and it doesn't matter if its the doctor or a bystander. And I don't think you can 'uninject' something. Once it's in, it's in.
  • if its a small amount you are fine.

    i used to worry about this as i have injections regularly.. sometimes there is a litte air, but it doesnt matter.

    If there is a lot - like a whole syringe then i think it can be very dangerous.
  • nothing happens. it's a myth.
