Fun fact, small air bubbles won’t cause problems. I can’t remember how big they have to be. I’m not going to look it up because I don’t want to be on a list.
learned this when i saw an inch long airbubble in an IV line slowly making its way towards my arm and i panic called a nurse who said that it’d take a lot more air than that to cause a problem, but disconnected the line and squeezed the air bubble out anyway.
