It is possible for someone to kill themselves by injecting air directly into the carotid arteries in the neck? (the arteries which feed blood directly to the brain)

Yes, it would simulate a heart attack. Not a great way to go.

This is a risky question to asking or answering because so many people use the internet to find ways of killing themselves , but yes it would probably kill someone if they did this. Also, you would be injecting something directly into an artery (usually veins are used) so once the needle is removed the artery would bleed profusely and you may die from blood loss first.

i contemplate whether you're taking a needle, the nurse consistently squirt out the liquid to eject any air bubbles. that's style of a fantasy, with some exceptions. I undergo in innovations as a toddler listening to that a single bubble of air could kill you. that's in simple terms not the case. A small bubble on your vein isn't risky. a huge bubble of air lower back to your heart, you create an air embolism. Air takes up area and in an enclosed area, like a blood vessel it could get lodged and can preclude blood getting previous it. Even then it ought to not kill you, even though it ought to reason an infarct (loss of blood/O2 grant inflicting cellular death

It is possible however it requires a large amount of air. The human body can and will absorb and break down small amounts of air in the vein.

yes it could happen. Ever realize that when you go to the doctors office and the give you a shot the nurse/doctor always flicks the needle before enjecting it into your arm....Same concept, to make sure there's no air in the syringe!.. It could go to your heart and kill you!
