Want this question answered?
It is extremely dangerous to inject any vein with air, I strongly advise against it. well as a heroin user i have injected my veins with air lots of times.. i think I've put up to 3 to 4 units of air but at least 1 unit of air gets in every shot... nothing bad has happend to me.. : }
If there is an air bubble in a liquid that is injected into your blood stream it is possible it will kill you. When this air bubble reaches your brain or heart problems can occur.
I hope that you are not planning to murder someone, and that you are asking this question only out of curiosity. Any visible bubble could potentially cause an embolism, although there is no guaranteee that any given embolism will be fatal. The more air you inject, the greater the chance of fatality.
An air bubble in a syringe can be injected into a vein, in which case it can cause an "embolus" or blockage. If the bubble gets stuck in the heart, it can cause a heart attack; an embolus in the brain causes a stroke. Either can kill within moments.
When injected into a vein, the air bubble(s) can cut off circulation to any blood vessel smaller than it.

Answer this question… What is injected into high pressure air
Worst case scenario you get a bubble of air in your vein (called an embolism) which travels to your heart or lungs, and due to a complicated process involving gas pressures and such, you die. Of course the likelihood of being accidently injected with enough air to cause real harm is quite small. Most bubbles of air will simply be absorbed into your blood stream, and you will go on to have a happy, oblivious life.
Jet fuel is injected into high pressure air in jet engines.
Yes
Of course they can. So can meth itself. So can air. You should never inject anything you're not specifically instructed to by a doctor.
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.
