And even in administering large dosages of air the emboli can be overcome by
laying on a specific side. As the heart pumps eventually the air breaks up and
dissipates ....I just don't remember which side you are suppose to lay on.
Anyone? This is what they do in the hospital if it should occur... in many many
years of nursing work I have never seen it.

calm any fears some of you may have. I have only done it 5 times now, and have
probably made many mistakes, but the one I'm going to talk about here is this.
On my third application I accidentally forgot to turn on the regulator, I have
since put up a procedure list to check off. So I filled the syringe with 10cc's
of ambient air. I pushed it in and thought something was funny as the vein got
very large. As I was turning everything off I saw what I had done and got a bit
fearful from hearing all the talk of embolisms. I waited an hour or so and
nothing, absolutely nothing happened. So I investigated a few pathologists
sites and found out that to cause an embolism one must inject at least 200 cc's
of air. Which of course there aren't even syringes that large. I would never
do that again, but if it were to happen I wouldn't have the fear I did that day.
I hope this helps anyone having trepidations about this useful form of using
ozone in certain situations.
