How long does it take you to die with air in your blood?

Answer 1

Yes, it induces a heart attack, that's why doctors, nurses and such, flick the needle to remove the air bubble.

----------- Answer -----------

Putting air in your vein will form bubbles like putting air in water. However, bubbles in your vein have no where to go but toward your heart/lungs. There, they will circulate to other organs via the arteries. This condition is called air embolism. These bubbles can cause obstructions at some of the small arteries causing heart attacks, strokes, or other ischemic injuries to other organs.

Answer 2

Air entering the blood vessel is called 'air embolism'. Air enters the blood vessel during trauma, medical or surgical procedures, deep sea divers etc. Small amount of air will usually gets absorbed but larger amount of air could go into one of the organs and obstruct the blood vessel and cause permanent damage or even death.

The time depends upon on the amount of air entering and the site from where the air has entered, for example air entering into one of the blood vessels supplying the brain could cause death in minutes.

Answer 3

I am guessing around instantaneous to 5 seconds. But why would you want to know this? Surely you are not planning to do this to anyone. If so, then I will need to trash this question.

Answer 4

Any size of air bubble in your vein will cause death.
