🩸 Haematoma (bleeding under the skin)

💉 Nerve injury
😰 Fainting or dizziness

🛡️ How to Minimise Risks

✔️ Confirm patient identity, allergies, and consent before starting
✔️ Use the correct aseptic technique and appropriate needle gauge
✔️ Apply gentle pressure after needle removal
✔️ Dispose of sharps safely and immediately
✔️ Reassure the patient and monitor for adverse reactions

❓Is consenting necessary in venepuncture?

In healthcare, consent means a patient gives permission before any examination, treatment, or procedure takes place.

For consent to be valid, it must be:
✅ Voluntary – given freely, without pressure
✅ Informed – the person understands what the procedure involves, including risks and benefits
✅ Given by someone with capacity – they can understand, retain, and communicate their decision

💬 Is consent required for venepuncture?
Absolutely! Even though taking blood is routine, it still involves inserting a needle into the body — so consent is always essential.

🗣️ Usually, verbal consent is sufficient after explaining the procedure clearly and allowing questions.

🔑 Remember:
Obtaining informed consent isn’t just a legal requirement, it’s a cornerstone of safe, ethical, and compassionate care. 💙

🩸 Why Does the Order of Draw Matter? 💉

Did you know that collecting blood samples in the wrong order can affect test results? 😱

The order of draw is designed to prevent cross-contamination of tube additives — keeping every test accurate and reliable. ✅

Here’s the correct sequence to remember:
1️⃣ Blood Cultures (aerobic → anaerobic)
2️⃣ Light Blue – Sodium Citrate
3️⃣ Red/Gold – Serum (no additive or clot activator)
4️⃣ Green – Heparin
5️⃣ Lavender/Pink – EDTA
6️⃣ Gray – Fluoride/Oxalate

🧪 Follow the order → Protect your patient’s results → Be a pro phlebotomist! 👏
