Injecting aspirate question

[jtsunami]

Sometimes when I inject I aspirate and I get air bubbles in the syringe, sometimes not.  Anybody know what this is?

If everything is right you will always see the bubbles...but as long as you dont see blood you are fine

Only need to pull back hard nuf to see if you hit blood.
You'll know it when you do. It can happen. I pull light, and stop before it (blood)goes up
in the barrel. Change out needle. Find a new spot.

Also, Proper medical inj technique is to SINK THE NEEDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE HUB!
This prevents it from searching around and finding a blood vessel because you didn't start inj
w/ it all the way down. The stuff is IM not IV.

Yep a very slight pressure is all it takes, just enough to load the syringe.  Cause if you are in a vein the blodd will offer very little resistance and the barrel will fill quickly with blood.  I think you should also try not to shoot the blood back in if it fills the barrel, although I think I did once without any problems.

Thats another good point about holding the pin all the way in and steady.  You could have peirced a vein and went all the way through into muscle.  If you were to retract the pin back into the vein you could inject into it.
