    Definition

    Venipuncture is
    the most
    common
    method of
    obtaining a
    diagnostic blood
    specimen.

    3
    Introduction

    • Blood collection methods include (1) venipuncture


    (penetrating a vein with a needle) with an evacuated
    tube system, syringe method, or butterfly infusion
    set; and (2) capillary blood system whereby the skin
    puncture is done with the use of a lancet.
    • Use of the evacuated blood collection system is
    preferable because it allows the blood to pass
    directly from the vein into the evacuated tube
    eliminating the need for specimen transfer.

    5
    Materials Required
    Safety Needles, 22g or less
    Butterfly needles. 21g or less
    Syringes
    Vacutainer tube holder
    Transfer Device
    Blood Collection Tubes.
    Tourniquets. Single use, disposable, latex-free tourniquets
    Antiseptic. Individually packaged 70% isopropyl alcohol
    wipes.
    2×2 Gauze
    Sharps Disposal Container. An OSHA acceptable, puncture
    proof container
    marked “Biohazardous”.
    Bandages or tape 6
    Safety Measures
    • Observe universal (standard) safety precautions.
    • Observe all applicable isolation procedures.
    • PPE’s will be worn at all times.
    • Wash hands in warm, running water with a
    appropriate hand washing product,
    • If hands are not visibly contaminated a
    commercial foaming hand wash product may be
    used before and after each patient collection.

    ●●●
    7
    Safety Measures
    • Gloves are to be worn during all phlebotomies, and
    changed between patient collections.
    • Palpation of phlebotomy site may be performed
    without gloves providing the skin is not broken.
    • A lab coat or gown must be worn during blood
    collection procedures.
    • Needles and hubs are single use and are disposed of
    in an appropriate ‘sharps’ container as one unit.
    • Needles are never recapped, removed, broken, or
    bent after phlebotomy procedure.
    ●●●
    8
    Safety Measures
    • Gloves are to be discarded in the appropriate
    container immediately after the phlebotomy
    procedure.
    • All other items used for the procedure must be
    disposed of according to proper biohazardous
    waste disposal policy.
    • Contaminated surfaces must be cleaned with
    freshly prepared 10% bleach solution. All surfaces
    are cleaned daily with bleach.

    9
    Procedure of Blood Collection
    • Identify the patient, two forms of active
    identification are required.
    Ask the patient to state their name and date of
    birth.
    This information must match the requisition.
    • Reassure the patient that the minimum
    amount of blood required for testing will be
    drawn.
    • Verify that any diet or time restrictions have
    been met.
    ●●●
    10
    Procedure of Blood Collection
    Order of Draw
    • The following order of draw is the approved
    order as established by CLSI.
    • This order of draw should be followed
    whenever multiple tubes are drawn during a
    single venipuncture.
    • This is to prevent cross contamination by the
    tube additives that could lead to erroneous
    results.
    ●●●
    11
    Blood Culture
    • Light Blue Top (plasma): 3.2% sodium citrate.
    These tubes are used for coagulation tests and
    need to be completely filled to ensure the
    proper ratio of blood to anticoagulant.
    • Red Top (serum): Plain and gel. Used for
    chemistry and reference tests.
    • Green Top (plasma): With and without gel,
    contains lithium heparin. These tubes are used
    primarily for chemistry tests.
    ●●●
    12
    Blood Culture
    • Lavender or Pink Top (plasma): Contains EDTA.
    Used primarily for hematology and blood bank
    testing.
    • Gray Top (plasma): Contains sodium
    fluoride/potassium oxalate. Used by chemistry
    for glucose testing.
    • Yellow Top (plasma and cells): Contains ACD
    solution A or B. Used for Genetics testing.

    Conclusion

     A procedure in which a needle is used to take


    blood from a vein, usually for laboratory testing.
    Phlebotomy may also be done to remove extra
    red blood cells from the blood, to treat certain
    blood disorders.
