I am compulsive about the air bubbles thing too. Though I have been told the same thing by docs and nurses alike. I still do not like to see the air bubbles and always ask if they can just flush the line free of air bubbles if it is doable. I always get the air bubbles out as well before I do any meds on my own.

Take Care,

I've been told the same thing too - lots and lots of air to hurt you. I used to get more paranoid when I'd see large amounts going in, but now I realize that unless it's an abnormal amount of air going through, I just let it go. I do usually sit still, sit in silence, waiting, while the air bubbles go through and I notice my heart is still beating until I continue on. It is a thought that stays in the back of my mind too.

Yeah, I used to get crazy about the air in the tube going into me. I was told also that I would need tubes and tubes of air. I do try to get all bubbles out by flicking the tube with my fingers. But yes, I have been told you need a whole lot of tubing filled with air to cause problems.

I always let the tiny but of air out of the medicine pump when im on home iv's , before i hook it up. I never liked watching ANY amount of air go in my veins , even though i know it isnt harmful . Just knowing it doesnt belong there gives me an uneasy feeling so i make sure its all out before i get hooked up. Nope you're not super paraniod.... just cautious.... and that can be a good thing <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
