Just out of interest, what would happen if you injected a vein or artery by mistake?? I mean is it 10 seconds to live or what??
i have done this before several times when I was completely unknowledgable about what I was doing. I never aspirated and did in fact inject some into a vein...I had gotten very dizzy and started coughing heavily for a little while...Everything subsided..You will not die...As said above it takes quite a bit of air injected directly into your vein...Aspiration is very important as I found out the hard way...lol
I injected a bit into a vein. I injected fine and aspirated fine but while injected the needle backed out and must have gone into a vein. As soon as i pulled the needle out i saw blood come out and i got very light headed, heart started racing, i started sweating, started caughing very badly, i felt like i was gonna pass out. Needless to say i freaked out but got a hold of myself and starteddrinking lots of water and tried to control my breathing to get my heartbeat back in check. It took a good 15minutes for the dizzyness to fade.
Needless to say it sucked.
