A mule is the result of a horse that has been bred with a donkey. Mules are generally sterile, meaning that they cannot be bred with each other in most cases. They also have 63 chromosomes. In appearance, mules may look very similar to donkeys. They also have stiff hair. Much like donkeys, mules are strong animals and tend to have calmer personalities.
To research the causes of Air embolism, consider researching the causes of these these diseases that may be similar, or associated with Air embolism: 1  Dyspnea. 2  Pulmaonary barotrauma. 3  Decompression syndrome. 4  Stroke. Thrombosis.
Air embolism causing death via IV is extremely rare. Firstly, because IVs are in veins. If an air bubble gets in a vein, not as big of a deal. They usually dissipate. Secondly, it would take a very large amount of air to do any damage at all. I'm talking about a huge syringe (20-40cc) of air being injected at once. If you are a patient in a hospital and see a few tiny bubbles in your IV line there is no need to panic. Air embolism in an artery, however, is another story. The result can be death. What happens is that it is passing along the circulatory system and eventually gets caught in a smaller vessel in the heart (heart attack) or brain (stroke). It acts like a solid object and stops circulation wherever it gets lodged.
