"Careful about air bubbles in your IV line; they can kill you!"
If you've ever looked briefly into IV therapy, you've probably stumbled upon this dramatic warning. While it's true that a massive air embolism (when a large bubble of air enters the bloodstream) can be dangerous, the fear surrounding tiny bubbles in IV lines is seriously overblown. Let's clear the air on this topic and show why you can rest easily when choosing Key Basis for your IV therapy needs.
The Truth About Bubbles: Size Matters
The amount of air matters. Yes, in theory, a very large air bubble could block blood flow in a vital organ, causing serious harm. But we're talking about a HUGE bubble here: 20ml of air. That is a bubble of almost the length of the entire tubing, which would never occur through standard IV therapy practice. Those tiny bubbles that you might spot in your IV line? They're harmless. Our bodies can easily process and filter them out.
Key Basis: Safety Is Our Priority
At Key Basis, your well-being is everything. Here's why you can always trust our experienced nurses:
Priming the Line:
Before attaching the IV line to your catheter, it's standard procedure to prime the tubing carefully. This means flushing out any air bubbles with the IV solution itself. Our nurses take this step seriously, ensuring no troublesome bubbles enter your system.
Meticulous Training:
Our IV technicians aren't just skilled; they understand why each step matters. They're educated about air embolism risks and trained in safe, meticulous IV practices.
It's Second Nature:
Priming IV lines isn't a special technique – it's simply the correct way to do things. Think of it like buckling your seatbelt – our nurses wouldn't dream of skipping this essential safety step.
