The twenty-first century is called the era of science. In this century, scientists are making new life-changing discoveries every day. Vaccines and medicines are being made to prevent the most dangerous and deadly diseases. But amidst all this, there is always some fear regarding medicines and injections. Many times a person thinks what will happen if he accidentally takes some wrong medicine. Similarly, if an air bubble gets into our veins while giving an injection, what will happen? Will the person die or remain alive? A similar question was asked on the social media site Quora. A user has asked a question on Quora, ‘If a bubble of air is injected into the vein, will the person die, what will be the effect?’ This user has asked people for an answer to this.
In such a situation, let us tell you that absolutely. If air bubbles enter the arteries of the body, death is certain. But if some air enters the veins while giving the injection, then the chances of his survival are very high. Many people have also expressed their views on this question of the user. Priya Sharma, a woman calling herself a doctor on Quora, has replied that if air bubbles enter the veins, then there is no need to worry. Yes, it makes a little difference, which causes problems like greenish blue discoloration of veins, blockage in veins, weakening of veins, etc. At the same time, this has also been talked about in the reports of Medical News Today website and Healthline. According to the report, if air bubbles enter the veins of our body, they will not be as fatal as the bubbles entering the arteries can prove fatal. Air entering the arteries can also cause a heart attack. Let us tell you that in the arteries the blood flows fast and under high pressure, whereas in the veins it flows more slowly and under low pressure. In such a situation, if an air bubble gets inside the artery, it will prove to be more fatal.
According to the report of Healthline, the process of air entering the veins or arteries of the body is called air embolism or gas embolism. The blood flowing through the veins and arteries carries air bubbles to the heart, causing a heart attack. Not only this, if air bubbles are introduced into the cerebral circulation, death is certain. The chances of air embolism during orthopedic surgery are up to 57 percent. But there will not be that much loss. But if 2-3 ml of air is injected into the body, it can prove fatal. At the same time, a user named Praveen Jain has written that air is removed before giving the injection, because if an air bubble gets into the vein and blocks the blood flow, it can cause a heart attack. That is why before giving the injection, the needle is lifted up and a little medicine is also taken out along with the air.
They have the highest number of deaths!
You will be surprised to know, but let us tell you that sometimes the problem of air embolism occurs due to scuba diving. Most of the people who dive underwater in the sea die due to the entry of such air bubbles in their body. Due to air entering the arteries, symptoms like pain in bone joints, heart attack, burning sensation in the skin, bleeding from the mouth can be seen. Doctors say that inhaling very small amounts of air does not cause much harm to the body. This is the reason why when doctors give an injection, they remove air from it before that.
