Fun fact, small air bubbles won't cause problems. I can't remember how big they have to be. I'm not going to look it up because I don't want to be on a list.

I'm pretty sure using the fediverse already has you on one

NSA, check

MOSSAD, check

FSB, check

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No MOSSAD.

Not enough innocent bystander causalities.

Yeah realistically it isn't a big concern. Like you should try not to inject air into people's veins, but the minimum amount that is likely to cause problems is about 20 cc (which is a lot), but it's likely to take much more than that to be fatal, usually in excess of 150 cc.

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 10 points 8 months ago

Damn for real? Growing up id always heard even the tiniest bubbles can put you into shock/death. Made me terrified for a long while growing up... 20cc is a lot of air!

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's one of those situations where ~2cc can potentially cause complications and a bubble could theoretically cause problems but is also unlikely, so when you ask a doctor they'll be like "technically yes, but" and everyone hears "confirmed, bubble=dead"

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Bread's numbers appear to be for veinous air embolism. A much smaller embolism can kill you in other areas... 2 cc in cerebral, 0.5 cc in the coronary artery.

Fun fact - we will intentionally inject (small) bubbles of air into your veins to look for connections between chambers of your heart that shouldn’t be there. It’s called a Bubble Study. https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/what-is-a-bubble-study

[-] DarkroomDoc 2 points 8 months ago

Arterial, tiny bubbles cause strokes. Venous, giant bubbles cause air emboli.

Sometimes there’s connections that shouldn’t be there that can cause venous bubbles to cross over and be a problem.

cm^3^ (with markdown ^3^)

cm³ (with unicode ³, which a bunch of keyboard layouts have on AltGr+3)

㎤ (one unicode character)

You are a gentleman and a scholar. Now how do I figure out how to do this for other similar use cases? Is there a table I can look up?

Cubic centimeter it's a measurement used for medications

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

learned this when i saw an inch long airbubble in an IV line slowly making its way towards my arm and i panic called a nurse who said that it'd take a lot more air than that to cause a problem, but disconnected the line and squeezed the air bubble out anyway.

[-] set_secret@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

it's a lot. like 50ml plus.
