    I cannot state enough how much an IV nurse appreciates a great phlebotomist. Their knowledge would make mine easier. A member of “ hard vein “ team, if IV RN missed one would have seen one of us 8 out of 40 IV RN’s, covering 1000+ bed hospital. Occasionally, I would get call from lab, when phlebotomist missed. I knew I was in for a challenge. Lastly, my wife RN hates getting her blood drawn. A good one saves her from yes- getting lightheaded. I realize blood draw is different than true phlebotomy. You all are VERY MUCH appreciated. Regards

    I went to school 1 extra year to be IV nurse RN. Knowing anatomy is so important. Feel also, it’s there. Although as you stated basic last option for IV insertions , it was one missed by many, I was taught to stand behind patient, ulnar bone acts as natural splint. Well explained great video. We all have to start somewhere. There will be missed, but as one evolves, one truly can become very good saving time & discomfort. Used all sites & from 16ga to 30 ga. I realize this is phlebotomy, ( which I did) but be careful in ACF. Now even RN’s access first. Ruining that, makes starting distal moving proximal is gone if infiltration. I have done foot as well with MD approval. Outstanding video

    make sure you apply a pressure dressing. If you have a good vein, ideally you would like to use it again in a few days. bruising because of blood leaking through will render that good vein useless for many days or more. So take care of it.

    Not true. Only if you want to go through it for while blood and coag draws. You want avoid sucking a clot into the tube. A bruised area is often a sign the previous draw was difficult, for any number of reasons. But, if it's all you've got, quick, deliberate, control insertion.

    I'm curious- why no draws from the forearm? I'm a paramedic student and when it comes to IV access, we in EMS will take whatever we can get, with a preference for the arm (which here I mean to include AC, hand, forearm, even upper arm). If nothing works in either arm, we'll consider the external jugular or IO, but obviously no one going to be doing routine phlebotomy draws from either of those. I've started plenty of IV's in pt's forearms- its a standard part of my vein search, along with AC and hand. IV lines in such sites are considered just as effective as any other placement- what is it that makes them a no-go for draws?

  • @PhlebotomySolutions

    6 жыл бұрын

    Donovan Corcoran Hello, for phlebotomists they are not allowed to draw outside their scope of practice which include forearm and inside wrist area. This is because there is a higher chance of pt injury involving nerve or artery damage. Those draws are against CLSI standards for phlebotomists only. Nurses, paramedics, PAs and MDs are not under those guidelines. I hope this helps. Thank you for a great question.

  • @zeldaron1

    For IV lines the forearm is the preferred site - the cannula will last longer and you have avoided areas of flexion which cause damage to veins. As a vascular access specialist, I always use ultrasound and can see the nerves and arteries and avoid them. When drawing blood only I will go for the AC again under ultrasound. If you can't feel or palpate a vein and have a IV team using ultrasound please call them before going to feet - I have never had to resort to the feet.

    This is good as a general guideline for beginners, but as I've gained experience this became less important. I go with the best vein I can find. If they have small cubital and a large hand vein, I will use the hand. Same goes for basilic. If the basilic vein is easily accessible and you know how to position yourself / the patient properly, I do not see it as a "last resort". Pillow or cushion under the elbow and slight pressure with the anchoring hand on forearm or wrist goes a long way towards preventing any jumps or jerking away

    So last week i had a blood test and they took blood from my basilic vein and they even told that it was the most sensitive vein, they did it because they couldn't find other veins, sure it did hurt like hell and even got swollen. My vein is hard to be found :(

    Did they tell you not to lift anything heavy for about an hour? Or they were rough drawing the blood. If you did lift after that could be the reason for the swelling too. A lot of factors are at play.

    Hi, Sandra here is some information regarding Texas Phlebotomy requirements. Texas is one of the states that does not require phlebotomists to be state or nationally certified. There are also no federally mandated licensing requirements. Employers in Texas may require applicants for phlebotomist positions and also employees to hold a national certification, however. This may be done for a wide range of reasons, the top one being to establish a minimum threshold of experience and competency among their staff. A number of national phlebotomist certification agencies do exist that offer the opportunity for certification like American Medical Technologists (AMT), and National Healthcareer Association (NHA). The only thing I can help you with is getting certified online for didactic only. You would have to find a place to do extern after and or get some skills done for blood draws. Visit site for more information about our online programs. Hope this helps. www.phlebotomysolutions.org
