The most common used antiseptics is? |
70% isopropyl alcohol, |
|
|
Isopropyl alcohol is? |
Bacteriostatic, means that it inhibits the growth or reproduction of bacteria but does not kill them. |

30 to 60 sec. |
|
|
Chlorexiden gluconate or benzalkonium chloride is used for patient that's sensitive to iodine |
Chlorhexidine gluconate should not be used on infants younger than 2 months. |
|
|
After drawing blood what's the next step? |
You need to stop the bleeding by applying pressure to the puncture site. |
|
|
How long does bleeding stops for a patient that's on aspirin or anticoagulant medication? |
10 to 15 minutes |
|
|
Point of a needle? |
A sharp needle provide smooth entry into the skin with a minimum of pain |
|
|
Bevel of a needle? |
The bevel, or angel, eases the shaft into the skin and prevents the needle from coring out a plug of tissue |
|
|
The largest diameter needles routinely used in phlebotomy are? |
21 to 22 gauge |
|
|
The blood bank use what size needle? |
16 to 18 gauge from donors and transfusion. |
|
|
The smallest size needle commonly use are? |
23 for small, fragile veins. |
|
|
A typical gauge use for routine adult is? |
21 gauge. |
|
|
The needle attaches to the collecting tube or syringe is a? |
Hub |
|
|
The most common needle is the? |
Multisample needle. |
|
|
A syringe is sometimes useful for? |
A patient with fragile and small veins. The most common size is 22. |
|
|
Wing infusion or butterfly is used for? 23 gauge size |
Venipuncture with a small veins, such as those in the hand and elderly or pediatric patient. |
|
|
Whole blood |
Is blood collected and mixes mixed with and anticoagulant so that it will bot clot. Whole blood is used for most hematology tests, including blood type and cell counts. And to determine the level of certain hormones and metal. |
|
|
Serum |
Is the fluid portion of blood that remain after clotting. No anticoagulant is used when collecting a serum sample. Complete coloring takes 30 to 60 minutes. Depending on the presence of clot activator. The sample can then be centrifuged to separate the serum. |
|
|
Serum |
Is used for many laboratory tests, including most chemistry and immunology tests. |
|
|
Plasma |
Is the fluid portion of blood, including fibrinogen and other clotting factors, plasma is obtained by collecting whole blood in a tube containing and anticoagulant and then centifuging. |
|
|
Plasma |
Is use for coagulation studies. It is also used for short turnaround time (stat) chemistry tests, when there is no time to wait for clotting to occur before centrifuged. |
|
|
All tubes contain additives except? |
For the glass red top tube. |
|
|
Additive include anticoagulant to prevent? |
Clotting |
|
|
Clot activator to? |
Promote it. |

What anticoagulant interferes with anticoagulant studies? |
Edta |
|
|
Citrate is used for? |
Coagulation studies |
|
|
