Question

What should be done if air enters the body along with the infusion during the IV process?

Answer

When small amounts of gas enter the body along with the infusion, they are usually not harmful as the body can naturally absorb these bubbles. However, if a large amount of air enters the body, it may cause gas embolism, though this is a rare occurrence. During treatment, general treatment measures can be considered. Parents should utilize professional knowledge and methods to help their child recover from the disease as quickly as possible, avoiding any impact on the child’s growth and development. Therefore, when children exhibit related diseases, parents should take prompt action to assist their child in regaining health.
