Suppose someone is hooked up to an IV, if a person inserted air via a syringe how much air would it take to cause an embolism

It would depend on the size of the vein or artery and how fast the air was injected. Generally speaking, a large enough air bubble introduced into the bloodstream will cause an embolism.
