Accidentally injected air — it's fine right?

I did this on my very first injection and spiraled for an hour. It was fine. You're fine.

Co-signing hexaclinic. We're talking hundreds of mL of air IV before things get dicey. A bubble subq is not even on the radar.

Okay. Heart rate returning to normal. Thanks team.

You're fine. Subq air is almost entirely benign. You'd need a lot more air than a bubble, and it'd need to go into a vein, to be dangerous. Stop googling.

Sequel to this thread will be 'accidentally dosed 2x' which is the next right of passage.

I lurk these threads specifically to remind myself I'm not the only one who panics. Solidarity.

Locking-adjacent reminder: if you ever truly think something's medically wrong, call a doctor or urgent care, don't post on the internet first. We're happy to talk you down from a bubble but we're not your ER.

lol yeah the panic is real even when you know logically it's fine. glad you're good, this is def one of those things where your brain goes worst case scenario for like 5 mins then you realize subq is pretty forgiving. the vein thing is what actually matters and you already know you didn't hit one.
