Blood collection for blood cultures usually involves collecting samples of two containers Aerobic and Non-aerobic bottles. When using a needle and syringe, First fill the anaerobic container first because it contains no air if a Winged infusion set or butterfly is used to collect a specimen then fill the aerobic container first because the tubing already contains air That is how I was taught
I did phlebotomy a long time. Never recap needles number one and also on the vina puncture site there was not two sticks only one, so I’m confused again.
Thanks, good video but 5ml of blood in each bottle is considered underfilling (can lead to false negative results), 8-10ml per bottle is the way to go.
If a needle and syringe is used to collect the specimen than the anaerobic container is filled first because it contains no air then you can fill the aerobic container
Your sound glitches right when you're explaining which bottle should be connected to the butterfly because of the air it will be sending into the bottle. Slow down and say it clearly. Air from the butterfly tubing should be going into the bottle that is cool with air coming in. Correct?
The air is at the top in the syryinge so it gets reverse, if you draw right from the arm the air will come first from the butterfly needle so you do aerobic first.
So I must be mistaken be to was thought that because the tubing in the butterfly needle already has air in the tube then you must start with the aerobic bottle must be filled first then the anerobic can be filled
Hello, you said in the video from two sites but you had 8 mm and that’s is it on anaerobic and aerobic so there is not two separate 2) puncture sticks so you confuse me. You use the same syringe for both bottles

So same butterfly Also, nurse said, usually you would draw two separate sites .one for anaerobic, and one for aerobic, but she uses the same tube.
So only one stick ? Is my Q? Thank you
@@merryanne3316two sticks in total . One stick in each arms
We were taught Aerobic 1st and Anerobic 2nd .

How are you going to say to recap the needle?
Also when you have more then one test ordered for cultures then you will be using two different sites
this is the only video that I found that uses the anaerobic bottle first...

YOU NEVER RECAPP A BLOODY NEEDLE 🤣🫠

In google it's written aerobic first as the butterfly tube may contain air..but here just the opposite..plz confirm...

I need the definition of "safely" recapping a needle.
Aerobic and then anaerobic. Bacterial comes before Fungal.

I’m sorry but this video is totally wrong! Blue BC first-aerobic and then purple (anaerobic)!
Thanks alot it was helpful
This didn’t change age well my hospital is now flagging any blood culture bottle with less than 8-10ml in each bottle
You cant imagen how many times i seen people doing cross contaminations, and actually not doing it the right way. Is frustating
If you don't know what you're doing don't make a video
This vid must be OLD STYLE because you DO NOT RECAP NEEDLES ANYMORE due to needle sticks 👍
