How Does Doctor Know If Air Has Been Injected Into Patient's Veins?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...If a patient had not suffered a heart attack, how would a doctor know if air had been injected into a patient's vein(s). I got third hand information about this possibility with my dad. He had had a level two stroke. I just want to know more about this because there is the possibility that someone may have injected him with air intentionally.
