Is anyone else frustrated with the quality of the disposable syringes we get? I’ve noticed they sometimes have air bubbles that refuse to clear, which totally defeats the purpose when you’re trying to be precise. It happens more often than it should, especially in a busy shift; i’m just curious if there are any brands out there that perform consistently under pressure.
I totally get your frustration. I’ve found that warming the syringe in my hands for a few seconds can sometimes help clear those stubborn air bubbles. It’s a simple trick, but it’s saved me some headaches during busy shifts.
, I feel you on those air bubbles! It drives me nuts when they pop up right in the middle of a busy shift. I’ve started using a bit of alcohol prep to wet the syringe before drawing up; it seems to help minimize bubbles.
