What happens to the patient when air is administered during an injection of medication?

Injection of air into the bloodstream is a fairly common and benign occurrence. During I.V. infusion, direct administration of medications through an I.V. site, or flushing of catheters with saline, small air bubbles are often pushed into the bloodstream. Despite the common misconception of instant death, under most circumstances the body can simply absorb these bubbles with little or no difficulty or adverse effect. However, injection of more than a little air all at once can cause a pulmonary embolism, which is very serious indeed. (According to a nurse's forum post, Medline's estimate for the amount of air necessary to cause venous air embolism is 3-8cc/kg. see associated linkage)
