Injection of sn?

[Trashcan]

So what if instead of swallowing it, someone injected sodium nitrite (SN) into their veins? Do you think that would work better? You can actually order IV catheters and hypodermic needles on the web.

It would burn like crazy being a salt.

Apparently it's 100% bioavailable which is crazy. I haven't been able to find anything on the pain maybe if you heavily research you can find something. It does appear it would be much quicker but once again it should be heavily research to see for sure.

I honestly can't imagine many rapid deaths by injection of a poison being plesent.

I plan to combine this with a gunshot. Pretty sure the gun wound will kill me (I'll be aiming towards the brain stem, so if my breathing and heart beat do not stop, I imagine I'll bleed to death). I'm trying to decide if I should drink it or inject it because if in the odd event the gunshot does not kill me, I want to make sure I die before the pararmedics and ER staff can save me. It's ok if it's not pleasant.

Wouldn't that depend on the concentration? Saline solution for example doesn't burn, and like with the salt in saline sn would have to be dissolved in water (or another solvent) before injection. It's available as a 30mg/ml solution as a cyanide antidote so I'd assume using it in a similar concentration would be relatively safe pain-wise.

Many vets give the pet a shot of sedative before the euthanasia drug. Some vets only use a sedative if the pet is frightened or can't relax. The shot may stin a little bit, and the drug can have side effects.

The euthanasia medication most vets use is pentobarbital, a seizure medication. In large doses, it quickly renders the pet unconscious. It shuts down the heart and brain functions usually within one or two minutes. It is usually given by an IV injection in one of her legs.

When a pet passes, the eyes may not fully close. The pet may urinate or defecate. You may see her twitch or take a final breath. This can be startling, but it's a normal part of the process. The pet isn't in pain. Use of a sedative makes this step less likely.

15 or 20 grams is alot in a dilluted solution, and if you have ever had an iv-bag it takes a long time for that bag to empty.
