Since I am weak and I got worse in the past months I started looking into alternatives that I can still do... And one of this was air embolism...
If you don't know what that is it literally means air in a gas form getting into your blood and eventually stopping your heart...
Your blood is not meant to have air in gas form in it and only very little can be absorbed by it effectively none so it causes a lot of complications...
But when looking into how much air it takes to cause death I found a very wide range of numbers online so I wanted to figure out why that is...
In this I intend to talk about this and the science that is involved in it... This is the only place I can do this since everyone is an ass as usual elsewhere...
So it takes only takes 0.5ml of air to cause the heart to stop yet I found that people have died to 50ml or less air after a successfully doing it
while other sources say 100-200ml is needed for death and I found a source even saying 1000-2000ml of air is needed...
The wiki says the lethal dose for humans is considered theoretically between 300-500ml of gas introduced at a rate of 100ml/s which is a lot...
So if only 0.5ml is needed then why the much larger and very wide range of numbers mentioned by the sources...
And if you didn't know the heart stops because the air gets into its own veins that supply it effectively cutting the power to the heart itself...
I had a long while to think about this so I have my own idea about it but I would like others to think too...
What I think is that there is much more air needed because it is not sure that the air will go into the own veins of the heart itself and it
might get stuck elsewhere too so that is why people who died show atleast a two digit number found in their body...
And since there is a large volume needed in a short time some used a bike pump and some used a bottle to make sure it works...
I think the larger numbers are showing how much is needed if you do it at lower than 100ml/s rate which is a high rate...
Afterall if a large protion of your blood is added to it in the form of air it will obviously cause death at that point...
I tried to include everything but I am not doing good so there might be something I should have say...
Let me know what you think about it...
