Infusion of about two centimeters of air into the blood vessels is generally not how, the air into the flow through the alveoli will be discharged with the breath.
Two centimeters in a section of the scalp needle is generally less than one milliliter, in the infusion tube is about two milliliters, two centimeters of air into the blood vessels is relatively small amount of air into the human body generally does not cause any effect, the air into the alveoli in the flow through the alveoli will be discharged with the respiratory, the patient does not feel uncomfortable feeling do not have to deal with.
Infusion of blood vessels into the amount of air between five to twenty milliliters to be given treatment, easy to induce air embolism, the patient to take the left side of the lying position, oxygen, immediately stop the infusion of fluids, close observation of vital signs, vital signs fluctuations, if necessary, to give the hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatment.
A large amount of air entering the blood vessels during infusion can cause major harm to the human body, usually more than one hundred milliliters of air entering the body will cause the patient’s death due to air embolism.
