I was given fluids today through an IV, and I saw 6-7 small bubbles go in me. Now I'm terrified they're gonna cause massive issues and kill me because I've seen it in a ton of movies......this really really worries me.:ohmy:

The short answer you’re fine. It takes a lot more air than a few bubbles in an IV line to cause problems. The long answer is you’re fine too, but figured you didn’t need a scientific answer to reassure you.
