When collecting for a coagulation studies the phlebotomy technician should select what colored top tube?Coagulation specimen collection requirements:
A light-blue top tube (containing 3.2% sodium citrate) that will be used for coagulation testing must be filled to completion.
Which order of draw should be used for venipuncture collection?The recommended order of draw for plastic collection tubes is:. First - blood culture bottle or tube (yellow or yellow-black top). Second - coagulation tube (light blue top). ... . Third - non-additive tube (red top). Last draw - additive tubes in this order:. Which of the following needles should a phlebotomist use for collecting units of blood for donation?21 Gauge Needles
21g needles are the most common gauge of needles used for routine blood draws and venipuncture. The gauge is small enough in which it does not cause any significant pain or discomfort during use. For most patients, their veins are of a size and stability that is best suited for the 21g needle.
What are the 5 main items that need to be on a requisition before drawing blood?All handwritten requisitions accompanying specimens must have the following legible information:.
