blood and include the serum.
Tools and materials used

1. Spuit (Syringe) 2. Latex gloves


3. Tourniquet

4. Alcoholic Cotton
5. Vacuum Tube 6. Gauze Pads
7. Plaster
PROCEDURE
1. Gather equipment

Collect all equipment needed for the procedure and place it within reach on a tray
or trolley, ensuring that all the items are clearly visible.
2. Wash hands
(use alcohol gel or soap and water if
your hands are visibly soiled)

3. Position the patients arm in a


comfortable extended position that provides
adequate exposure of the planned
venepuncture area.
4. Inspect the
antecubital fossa or
forearm for a suitable
vein
(it should ideally be visible without applying
the tourniquet)

5. Apply the
tourniquet about 4-5
finger widths above the
planned venepuncture
site
6. Palpate the vein

Choose a vein has a sizeable lumen and feels springy.


Tapping a vein gently can make it easier to visualise and feel.

7. Wash hands again


7. Don gloves
(gloves dont need to be worn for
cleaning the site, but they should
always be donned prior to
performing venepuncture itself)

8. Clean the site


with an alcohol swab for
30 seconds and then
allow to dry completely
over 30 seconds
9. Insert the needle through the skin at a 30-degree angle
or less, with the bevel facing upwards
(you should see flashback and feel a decrease in resistance as the needle enters the
vein)

10. Advance the needle a further 1-2 mm into the vein after
flashback is seen.
11. Lower and anchor the needle to the patients skin.
12. Fill the blood sample bottles by attaching each in turn to
the collection system.
14. Release the tourniquet

15. Withdraw the needle and


then apply gentle pressure to
the site with some gauze or
cotton wool
15. Apply a dressing to the
patients arm
(cotton wool / gauze / plaster)

16. Discard the used


equipment into the
appropriate waste bin
17.Complete the patient
details on the blood
sample bottles at the
bedside
(either pre-printed labels or handwritten).

18. Send the blood


samples to the lab
for analysis in an
appropriate plastic leak-
proof bag with the
completed
laboratory request form.
