What will happen if you inject into a vein that has no air in it?

Depends on the size of the air bubble, your body will absorb air that comes into the vein, but if the bubble is too big it cannot be absorbed and if it reaches your heart you will die. There is a practice called 'Packing testosterone'. Body builders who inject testosterone will actually put a small air bubble in the syringe which helps pack the testosterone into the muscle for optimum performance. This however is a very small amount. A little air in the vein is fine. This is something that you should never try alone, heck I wouldn't try it period lol!
There are some cases where at the hospital and they put in the IV there is bubbles that will get in the line, this is perfectly fine because your blood absorbs it quickly. A syringe full of air injected into your vein would most likely get pumped to your heart and cause a massive heart attack.

∙ 15y agoYou generally won't die. I have tried this but it had no effect. I think it needs to be a quite a large amount of air and even then it may have no effect

How you can make intravenous injection in cattle?
There are two major sites, the jugular vein and the tail vein. The jugular vein is much larger but cattle are often restrained in a neck chute which can make it difficult to safely inject into. The tail vein runs straight down the underside of the tail but is much narrower, so it is harder to inject into but is generally more accessible in dairy cattle.
