I really like watching this instructor, he is very thorough explaining the procedures, doesn't talk nonsense, nor does he make a show of himself teaching.
Ive been a phlebotomist 30 years this was terriable you do not put your nail into a patient ever. You should be able to locate vein without putting your nail in.a patient as a land.mark. you invert as soon as u collect the blue tube .
This phlebotomist is very professional 👍 and I would like to know if there is a school that I can get just practice I'm already certified so I can get a job in the future. By the way I live in New-York city. Thanks you.
The reason he didn't take the tourniquet off in a minute because he was demonstrating how to draw blood correctly. This is one of the best videos so far that I have seen that explains everything from the begging to the end correctly. I am in a Phlebotomy class and this is exactly how my instructor taught us and she has been doing this for over 12 years.
I want to do phlebotomy as there is a school my boyfriends best friends wife just went to in our area and she has a job after doing it 7 weeks with the 2 week clinical included. I want to do this and then LPN but the 60 seconds makes me a little anxious. I feel like I would mess it up.
I've been an MA for 2 yrs now, doing blood draws is my favorite part of the job, after a while you enjoy doing them while having a good chat with the patient until you get rolling veins it becomes a challenge which I don't back down from but you definitely dont want to stick the patient more than 3 times we would send our patients to Quest labs in such cases. Instructor was great though very throughly explained!
Marina E. It’s a lab called Quest lol, they do labs there such as drug screening , blood draws , they also receive labs from different clinics/hospitals and test them there, and send back the results :)
also....idk if anyone else noticed...but he left the tourniquet on way too long? it's only supposed to be on for 30-60 seconds upon entering the last tube...not after everything is already done. it helps flow to run more smoothly as well to take it off appropriately. Also lessens the risk of hemolyzed blood samples.
I'm currently taking medical assisting classes and this video was the perfect example, definitely making me feel more confident in blood draw and now I know a few more things that I need to go over this video is a very accurate representation
Thank you so much! Today was my first day and I was so lost and felt very sad for myself after I expressed so much interest. I’m feeling more confident now, thank you!!
Today was my FIRST DAY AND FIRST TIME ever drawing blood from someone with no history of medical background (such as being CNA, RN, miliary etc besides taking bio/phys classes). With this video and lectures of the phlebotomy class this semester at uni, I was able to do 3 pokes on my classmate partner each getting blood. 🙌🙌
I've decided to enter a phlebotomy program and I was so afraid of not finding a vein this helped me a lot, I hope it comes to me as easy as it seems in the video.
medical assistant here ! i’m trained in Phlebotomy CPR and EKG/CKG it is extremely important that the patient information is correctly identified after greeting your self and explaining the procedure ! it’s also very important to make sure all collection tubes and the needles are NOT expired lastly a tourniquet should only remain on the arm for no more than 60 seconds and should not be pinching the skin & we will only feel the palpitation of the vein with our pointer finger.
Btw pulling back the needle can cause the punctured site to bleed always do you best to hold steady no one wants bruising or to be seen as a pin cushion & most importantly IDENTIFICATION IS KEY all blood specimen samples must be labeled with all identifying information for the patient and finally your initials ! i hope this helps someone
"It is actually not okay if there will be leakage of blood on the site where you inserted the needle that is why you really need to practice handling properly your adapter while removing the tube and placing another one."
Great instructional video and very helpful to new phlebotomists. Only critique: don't use your fingernail to indent patient's arm...not the best way to instill confidence
He didn't identify the patient correctly, didn't use two identifiers (name and DOB), he put the tape on the edge of the counter while he drew, which is an infection prevention issue, there shouldn't be blood oozing from the puncture site, (poor needle placement) and I believe a slight inversion of the tubes right after filling and removing form the hub is better practice then waiting until you complete the venipuncture.
about 2 months ago my house doctor applied massive pressure with gauze on the needle while it was still in my vein, resulting in him puncturing right through my vein and cutting into a tendon. it caused a hematoma the size of a tennis ball. my arm was purple blue black for almost 4 weeks and now 2 months later my arm is still in pain and I can hardly use it.. I have 20 yrs of hard rolling martial arts under my belt with many many injuries and this is by far worst than anything that happened in the dojo..
Okay once you started to get the blood you should of released your tourniquet. The next thing is I noticed that the needle came out of the patient's arm a little bit that is how you got the blood around the bevel. You will not see any blood other than that particular event or situation happening. Everything else was good to go.
Is this because there was too much pressure between the tourniquet being placed and the pressure being put on the veins? Just wanting to know I wanna know some facts and knowledge before I go into the program.
My first stick was a 20+ people audience, birthday party for grandma (Hispanic patient) and she needed hydration. I sure told them I have done this many times..... they don't need to know it has been on a dummy. But hey they bought it and it went through. Deep inside I was dying when I was putting it in.
He's obviously not in a clinic with a sink, its like an office with computers (not safe at all if it was the pt's home it'll be okay but always next or by a sink for accidents). I do see a sharps container next to his left. Most of the time the phlebotomy do wash there hands before they see the pt but they should always do it up front of the pt. You should always wear gloves when touching a pt, especially for veins (blood) and when touching all the accessories items you need to perform your job, safely without contaminating everything b/c then if you handle everything without gloves its no longer sterile. light blue tubs inverting 3-4 times and red tubes inverting 5 times. If a needle stick occurs always milk the area clean it and the tell your boss immediately. Hopefully you know who, what, when, where the needle was last came from what pt! If not you'll never know.
did you identify that you had the corret patient first? you should release the T as soon as the blood starts flowing and gently invert the tube of blow right after disingaging it and then insert anotherif ordered. they also have to be inserted in order according to different additives. I guess you need to practice or study more. LoL
Thats incorrect especially if doing multiple tubes you would remove the turniquet after you have inserted the last tube you are filling to make sure you have enough force in the vein to completely fill all tubes
great video just have to say he pulled out a little thats why we seen blood coming out from his puncture he needs to go in deeper for a professional ending for the patient.
Ive had blood come out during the initial puncture and if I have to shift the needle, it happens but it doesnt necessarily mean he was double poking the patient unless I just wasnt paying attention to that exact moment
I honestly don’t think the patient would like for the phlebotomists finger nail to be stabbed into them to make it easier for the phlebotomists to make a “land mark”
As a MA in training this is a good video. However, there were some parts that I don’t agree with, such as digging a nail into a patient. I think I’d rather remember the site with a landmark or something on the patient arm. I just did a draw yesterday on a classmate that was awful and I felt horribly. I did end up getting blood after the third try but I forgot to pull the tube out before I pulled out the needle and she had a massive pool of blood come out. It’s a process and I know it gets better with practice. Good points and I know the more I practice the better I will get.
It basically means that the tip of the needle is still in but most of the bevel is out hence the blood is coming straight out..that will make the negative vacuum of the tube come out and you wont be able to get any blood in there. As the vaccum comes out, the tube makes a sound and it does suck up some of the blood that's around the needle. After that, the site starts bleeding and you need to push the needle in a little and get a new tube
This is awesome. The best I've seen 9nline so far. He really goes into detail, does the instructor have one for starting IV lines especially for giving a pt contrast😅. That would be so helpful to me 🤗
just had mine before, it doesnt hurt at all. the only probelm is the fear that you may get from needles but trust me just be calm and it really doesnt hurt
I had my blood drawn today....they needed to collect 2 vials.....well they got one, but then my vein stopped giving any blood....so instead of sticking me again, the girl just opened the first vial and poured half into another one and said "we're good". I left, but thinking on the way home that that was probably not ok. Should I call my Dr and tell him what happened? Or are my samples ok? It was for CBC and A1C
+dhide14 that's perfectly fine. In some cases. It's odd that your phlebotomist just stopped getting blood the person either move the needle deeper into your vein while switching tubes or pulled out a little which would cause blood to no longer enter the tubes.
It's really not ok. If all they were drawing was reds, which I doubt, then it might be ok, but depending on what type of tube they were drawing into and what tests were being done, you have to worry about cross-contamination of anti-coagulants, and having an insufficient blood-to-additive ratio, both of which can really throw off some tests. So no, splitting a tube like that is decidedly not "perfectly fine".
Then why is there a transfer device? Obviously if blood was drawn in a lavender tube and then transferred to a tiger top tube that is bad. But you are permitted to transfer blood from one tube to another..
Transfer devices are to get blood from a syringe into a tube, typically. But pour-offs from one into another should be avoided if at all possible, at least, like I said, depending on the tube. Order of draw is there for a reason for all the tubes, not just edta vs chemistry. In an emergency situation or in the case of a *really* difficult draw, then doing that is acceptable, but depending on what the tubes were, they could very well be getting a call from the lab wanting this girl to get redrawn anyway because her potassium is mysteriously and 'fatally' through the roof. It would have, assuming he or she didn't, been better if the phleb at at least spent a little more time fishing or even tried the other arm. Also, again, additive-to-blood ratios are important.
I've been there before. The important thing is to keep cool and be calm. Cuz if you freak out doing this, you could hurt yourself and the pateint as well. They have dummy arms to practice this on. The point is to go slowly and at your own pace. After a while, you'll get use to it and be faster at drawing blood
Thanks for the helpful tip. Everything went right except when the phlebotomist invert the tube. As per my knowledge, Red Stoppers doesn't need to be inverted since it has no additives or anticoagulant. Isn't?
The red should have clot activator but less than the tiger top. That's why it takes longer to clot. Usually if you have time to wait, should clot very good in 1hr.. I've seen plastic red top and glass red top. I think the glass has no additive.
Very good video. I imagine he was nervous because we're suppose to wipe hands before and after handling gloves. Also show the patient his saples to make sure the correct labels are on them. Other than that, good job.
I watched other videos and what I noticed is he didn't was or sanitized his hands before putting on the gloves and the blue was supposed to come off after 60 secs or less. I've never seen blood come outside the needle like that in my entire life.
I really like watching this instructor, he is very thorough explaining the procedures, doesn't talk nonsense, nor does he make a show of himself teaching.

I wanna do the phlebotomy as part time per diem to get the experience along with my full time job I'm working at home. Then this September do the lpn
Your instructor told you if a little blood comes out of the site it's alright? You blow brains out that way.

This is one of my favorite channels! Everyone is a either critic or a supporter. In my opinion this instructor does a great job.
I love how he's explaining everything, so professional. I can listen to him all day.
Will pass the course😍🥰love an easy listening instructor. I'm already nervous but I will pass for sure with him!!
If blood is coming out of the puncture site, the bevel is slightly out of the arm which can cause the vein the blow along with bruising.
Do that's why I have scares on my arm where blood was drawn...
No it doesn't
Also if you insert the needle in too slowly, which makes it more painful for the patient.
also....idk if anyone else noticed...but he left the tourniquet on way too long? it's only supposed to be on for 30-60 seconds upon entering the last tube...not after everything is already done. it helps flow to run more smoothly as well to take it off appropriately.

were you able to land a job right away after training?
Nice video.Simple and basic.The instructor did a great job explaining and giving us useful information that helped me be a better student. THANKS. 🙏

Great instructional video and very helpful to new phlebotomists. Only critique: don't use your fingernail to indent patient's arm...not the best way to instill confidence
Agree
I often can find a landmark, but if I can't i will use the a corner of the gauze pad to point at the spot. I keep it about an inch above
just remember the concept of phlebotomy, everything else will come as you get use to your new craft
I love the way he explain
This is one of the best / most informative videos I've seen on the topic. Thank you!!
If bloods coming out of the edges it’s because the needles too far out. And you’re supposed to use a discard tube before putting the blue top in.
SASHA discard tube only when using a butterfly
A straight needle does not have tubing therefore it wont mess up the vacuum of the tube
I'm not in the field but I enjoy this video. Every time I see it though I always think the patient has an "M" vein thingy and not the "H"
Joyce LeBaron I saw it too lol
I loved this!!! Great explanations and it was very informative. Thank you!
I think he did great. Yes, people are going to make mistakes sometimes but guess what we learn from them. So I think he did great.

First order of business is sharps before doing anything else. You don't invert, clean up, or anything until that needle is safely in the sharps

@@sarahchristian7283 nah girl, leaving the T on too long will change the value of some tests. So as soon as you get flow release the T.
Funny 2 different professors say otherwise
No longer than a minute but instantly popping your turniquet can slow the flow of your blood causing it to hemolize
I found this to be excellent
great video just have to say he pulled out a little thats why we seen blood coming out from his puncture he needs to go in deeper for a professional ending for the patient.

Nice job done sir....🎉❤😮😅😊😊
Very nice! Thank you!
Woah that’s actually quite a big needle!
Great illustration!
I have a question how do you know your in the vein other than inserting the tubes? This doesn't give you a flash of blood like a butterfly does it?
He didn't recheck if bleeding stop. He just placed tape

THANKS A LOT
me watching this 1 hour before my phlebotomy rotation 👁👄👁
Um, @7:38 - What if there was a LOT more blood than that? As in the patient is bleeding around the puncture site with the needle still in?

Man i thought they were just playing with my blood when they were flipping them
Wow! I love this guy!
Thank you. Very good!
Mary Smith your absolutely right
I felt that and I have anxiety 😩
Blood coming out means you’re not in deep enough. You can always pull back but it’s harder to go back in if you’re not deep enough.
You right
Great video :) I'm a new MLS major in my clinical year :)

You invert so it will mix with the clot activator and so it will clot faster
