Re: getting rid of an air bubble in an IV line

Anyone ever notice how much more likely blood is to have bubbles in it than regular ole fluids? Every other unit I hang, I have bubble issues and they're never anything but fine "champagne"-like stuff that makes the pump go crazy. Fortunately it responds really well to me tapping the heck out of the line. Anyone know why the blood does that? I am wondering about the effectiveness of our tubing sets and their filters, because I don't remember this happening much on the horizon pump tubing.
