When air is injected in to the veins, it leads to an air
embolism which is a condition where there is the formation of a bubble in the
bloodstream.
The problems due to an embolism can range from
pain, heart failure, damage to other vital organs and death. This happens as the bubble
does not allow the free flow of blood and organs are starved of
oxygen.
Usually, a few small bubbles of air while taking an
injection do not affect the body. Air embolism is the result of trauma or bigger medical
accidents where a large amount of air or other gases enters the vascular
system.
