Small air bubbles in an IV line generally do not pose a significant danger because the body can absorb small amounts of air without causing harm. It would take a considerably larger volume of air, typically around 50 to 100 milliliters, injected rapidly into the venous system to cause an air embolism, which can obstruct blood flow and lead to serious complications. Medical professionals ensure that air is minimized in IVs, but small bubbles are usually not a cause for concern. #nursingstudent #i
