Now if we could get those bubbles to be on a time release, we could save even more money on the nic juice releasing at a rated time. Like the time release addicting drugs that our Dr.s give us to ease the pain.

Agreed! If you don't have one before you study in medical, you will by time you graduateI think thats one of the requirements to work in a medical feild, a weird sense of humor.
LOL Radiology for me.Hold your breath for 90 seconds. That is hypoxia, low oxygen level in the blood.
As a nurse I can tell you he has it backwards. Analogs cause hypoxia. Blood cells would rather grab onto and hold onto carbon monoxide, burnt tobacco, than oxygen all day long. That means when you smoke analogs there is less oxygen circulating in the blood. Thats why peolple who suffer smoke inhalation are sent to hyperbaric chmabers to try to force to oxygen back into the blood cells.
YES, i have a seriously warped sense of humor since joining the medical field. I hear some of the dumbest things. It's amazing how much people don't think about what comes out of their mouth.
Alright you two, you leave me no choice...... "Ni!"
This is a very serious topic about a dangerous health condition, such levity is entirely inappropriate. Now that we know vaping will not cause embolism, I will try to get back to work on incorporating a cartomizer into a scuba regulator, hopefully without further interruption.
But I will be keeping an eye on this thread. And make no mistake... We will say "Ni!" again to you, if you do not appease us.
I haven't heard of anyone dying of air bubbles in their blood from e cigs. Perhaps your patient had air bubbles between their ears
Well, it was in a hospital setting. Maybe the patient was on a high level of opiates?
He was just getting his Influenza vaccine. O.O. BUT you know how flyboys are. Once they hear it on the intranetz it moost be tru. Cause we fly high. God i can't wait to PCS.
Hey everybody, Monkey here, aka a Registered Respiratory Therapist. This thread is pretty much my bread and butter since I deal with hypoxic patients all day. As far as Hypoxia, it is actually low o2 in the tissues vs. hypoxemia which is low o2 in the blood. Vaping in no way shape or form can cause either. Analogs on the other hand could(hypoxemia), which is also quite difficult to accomplish smoking analogs. As far as air bubbles probably not, unless, you have a subcutaneous embolism, but that would require an open wound and enough air to shoved under the skin(also very hard to accomplish).
Your pt. is just talking out of his rear, and if he knew anything about it, he would have been able to expand on his uneducated statement. But then again pt's will say anything to keep you in a room just so they have someone to talk to.

Good grief, what's next...vaping causes your eyeballs to swell and pop? Gotta love the misinformation..or stubbornness as I like to call it......
Check out this well-known Physician led program! If doctors are going to start pushing this concept, I'm quite certain we are pretty safe vaping.

If I remember correctly, there were AFN "commercials" detailing the dangers of vaping a few years ago, put out by the air force surgeon general
