Blood Tube Order of Draw When collecting multiple samples the following order of draw is recommended: Blood Cultures Coagulation tube (blue top) Chemistry tubes (gold or tiger top SST, plain red) Heparin Tube (green top) Hematology tube (lavender top) Sodium fluoride (gray top) Note: when filling tubes from a syringe, minimize the chance of clotting by changing the order so that the additive tubes are filled before the non-additive ones. PROCEDURE For each test ordered, verify the following information found on the collection label: 1. Correct amount of blood to be drawn (if unsure, contact laboratory personnel). Minimal volume collections can be achieved by combining specimen collection of multiple tests that can be drawn in the same container. 2. Correct type of tube or container to use (if unsure contact laboratory personnel)
2 3. Conditions under which the blood should be drawn and stored during transport to the laboratory (i.e. on ice, protect from light, etc.) 4. The time at which the specimen should be collected. PROCEDURE FOR PATIENT IDENTIFICATION: Identification of the patient is critical. The phlebotomist must ensure that the blood specimen is being drawn from the individual designated on the request form. The following steps outline the required procedure. Deviation from procedure is not acceptable. 1. Ask the patient to give his/her full name. Never call the patient by name for identification. If the patient is unconscious ask the patient s nurse, relative or family friend to identify the patient by full name if available. 2. Compare this information with the information on the request or test requisition. 3. Using two identifiers, name and date of birth; compare the patient s name and date of birth on the request with the patient s hospital identification bracelet. In the outpatient setting patients do not have armbands, verbally verify both identifiers with the patient. 4. If all information is correct and consistent, proceed with the venipuncture. Any discrepancies should be reported to the patient s nurse or client service representative for correction. PROCEDURE FOR VENIPUNCTURE: 1. Wash hands with soap and water with friction for 15 seconds or use alcohol based hand rub. Put on fresh gloves. 2. After appropriate identification of the patient, select a vein site. Note: although the larger and fuller median cubital and cephalic veins are used most frequently, wrist and hand veins are acceptable for the venipuncture. Be careful to notice if certain veins or arms are restricted for use as in mastectomy cases. Samples should not be obtained from lower extremities. 3. Apply the tourniquet and palpate the vein to determine the adequacy of the vein for the amount of blood to be drawn. Do not draw blood from a site of a hematoma. Palpate the vein away from the hematoma to prevent erroneous analysis. Loosen the tourniquet while the skin is being cleansed and the appropriate equipment assembled. All equipment, needles, needle holders and syringes are for single use and should be discarded at the end of the procedure. Note that prolongation of tourniquet application can produce erroneous test results. 4. Cleanse the skin with a commercially prepared alcohol pad, using a circular motion from the center to the periphery. When collecting a blood alcohol do not use an alcohol pad. Use a chloroprep one step frepp to cleanse the site. See blood culture collection procedure for proper cleansing prior to collection of blood cultures. 5. Allow skin to dry to prevent hemolysis of the blood and to prevent the patient from experiencing a burning sensation when the venipuncture is performed. If the site must be touched again, it must be cleaned again before venipuncture. 6. Re-apply the tourniquet three to four inches above the selected site. 7. When using a vacutainer, insert the collection tube into the holder at the stop position. 8. Grasp the patient s arm firmly using the thumb to pull the skin taunt to anchor the vein. The thumb should be one to two inches below the venipuncture site. 9. With the bevel up, line the needle with the vein and puncture the vein. Push the tube forward to puncture the stopper. 10. Remove the tourniquet as soon as the blood flow is established. 11. Fill the tube until the vacuum is exhausted and the blood flow ceases. This ensures correct blood to anticoagulant ratios and that a proper amount of specimen is available for analysis. Blue stopper tubes collected for coagulation studies must always be filled correctly and completely. Lavender stopper tubes
3 Notes collected for CBC must contain at least one ml of blood. When in doubt, check the STVHS test directory or contact the department for verification of correct volume. 12. When the draw is from a small vein or a pediatric patient, a butterfly may be used. 13. When collecting multiple samples the following order of draw is recommended: Blood Cultures Coagulation tube (blue top) Chemistry tubes (gold or tiger top SST, plain red) Heparin Tube (green top) Hematology tube (lavender top) Sodium fluoride (gray top) Note: when filling tubes from a syringe, minimize the chance of clotting by changing the order so that the additive tubes are filled before the non-additive ones. 14. Mix the additive tubes immediately after collection by gently inverting the tube 8-10 times. 15. Instruct the patient to open his/her hand and place a gauze pad lightly over the venipuncture site. 16. Activate the collection safety device. Needles are for single use only. Once removed from the arm, do not recap the needle, bend it or remove needle from holder or syringe. The needle and holder (syringe) should be discarded in a sharps container. 17. Apply an adhesive bandage over the site after applying mild pressure to the site. Instruct the patient to leave the bandage on for 15 minutes and to apply slight pressure for 5 minutes. If the patient is taking an anticoagulant, hold pressure and assure bleeding has stopped before applying bandage. If any bleeding problems are noted, call the nurse for assistance. 18. Place the bar coded accession label on the specimen tubes before leaving the patient s side. Initial the specimen label. If a bar coded label is not available record the patient name, date of birth, date and time of collection and phlebotomist identification on each tube drawn. All needles are for single use only Phlebotomists are not to perform arterial sticks. If arterial stick is necessary, call Respiratory for assistance. A phlebotomist is to attempt a venipuncture no more than twice. If unsuccessful another phlebotomist or staff member should attempt to obtain the specimen. Patient identification is critical. If there is any discrepancy between the request and the patient s armband information the specimen should not be drawn until the discrepancy is resolved. Keep your tray within arm s reach just in case you get into trouble and realize that you need another tube or a pediatric size tube. For inpatients, have the patient lie in the bed. Do not place the tray on the patient s bed. The bedrail may be lowered to access the patient, but must be returned to the upright position before leaving the patient s room. For outpatients, use a phlebotomy chair with a safety arm. BLOOD CULTURE COLLECTION SUPPLIES Blood culture skin preparation kit BacT-Alert blood culture bottles - Use one aerobic (blue cap) and one anaerobic (maroon cap) bottles for adults for each request - Use single pediatric (yellow cap) bottle for pediatrics Butterfly needle, blood culture collection device, sterile gauze and alcohol prep. If drawing from a line use line draw blood culture device. PROCEDURE Follow all patient identification procedures as outlined in the routine collection procedures. 1. Place tourniquet on patient's arm and locate the vein to be used.
4 2. Loosen the tourniquet and proceed with the skin sterilization procedure. 3. Remove Chloraprep FREPP and hold by the center of the handle in a horizontal position with the foam surface down. Pinch handle to break ampule. Note: Do not continue to squeeze handle. 4. Apply foam surface to area to be cleansed, depress foam against skin surface once or twice to saturate foam. Cleanse area thoroughly for 30 seconds. Allow to air dry for 30 seconds. Do not blot or blow on skin to dry. Do not re-palpitate! Blowing on or touching the cleansed site will contaminate it causing false positive blood cultures that may lead to erroneous patient treatment. Do not cough or talk over the cleansed site. 5. Proceed with collection of the blood culture specimen using accepted technique. Remove the top from the blood culture aseptically so as not to contaminate the top of the bottle. Use an alcohol prep to cleanse the top of the blood culture bottle prior to inoculation with the specimen. Adults: Use aerobic and anaerobic bottle for each set. Draw 10 to 20 ml. For each venipuncture, minimum is 5 ml and maximum is 10 ml per bottle. Note: If an adult is extremely difficult to collect and only a small amount to blood is collected, inoculate the aerobic bottle only. Do not use a pediatric bottle for adult collection. Pediatric patients (infants and under 12 years): Draw 1-4 ml of blood and use one pediatric bottle for each request. Inoculate pediatric bottles with at least 1 ml blood. NICU specimens can be as small as 0.5 ml. Label the bottle using a computer label or transcribe the full name, date of birth, or medical record number. All bottles must have initials of the phlebotomist, time of collection, site of collection, and blood culture order of draw number. Bandage with gauze and pressure tape. PROCEDURE FOR FINGER PUNCTURE AND BLOOD COLLECTION FROM INFANTS A limited number of test procedures can be done on micro blood samples. Micro test procedures generally require blood sample collection ranging from ml ( ul). In newborns, when the hematocrit may be 60% to 70%, the whole blood sample collected may need to be three times as much as the actual test sample requirement in order to yield an adequate volume of serum for testing. A minimum of ml whole blood is required in the lavender top Microtainer tube for a CBC. 1. Sites for skin puncture Lateral or medial plantar heel surface (see illustration) Plantar surface of the big toe Palmar surface of the last segment of the finger PROCEDURE FOR INFANT HEEL PRICK BLOOD SAMPLES 2. Skin puncture precautions Skin puncture site must not be edematous as accumulated tissue fluid will contaminate the blood specimen. Do not puncture through a previous puncture site. To do so may spread any possible infection at that site. Do not perform skin punctures on the fingers or toes of newborns. The distance from skin surface to bone in the thickest portion of the last digit of each finger of newborns varies from mm and with available lancets the bone could be damaged. 3. Thoroughly cleanse the puncture site area using a sterile alcohol swab. Allow time for alcohol to evaporate or dry with a sterile gauze pad before the skin is punctured, as residual alcohol will cause rapid hemolysis of the specimen.
5 4. Only use a sterile microlancet device to perform skin punctures. 5. Wipe away the first drop of blood (which may contain tissue fluid) with a sterile gauze pad before beginning the actual blood collection. 6. Collect blood required for the test procedures requested into the appropriate containers. Blood flow will be enhanced if the puncture site is held downward and gentle or moderate continuous pressure is applied to the surrounding area. Note: Strong repetitive pressure (i.e., milking) may cause hemolysis, contamination of specimen with tissue fluid, and clotting of the blood. 7. Specimen collection for Alabama Department of Public Health Neonatal Screening Test Form: Collect specimen directly onto form. Do not collect in capillary tubes and transfer to form. Touch drop of blood formed onto the center of the printed circles on the filter paper portion of the form. Allow blood to saturate the circle so that the white portion inside is no longer visible on either side of the form. Repeat the procedure for all circles. Avoid a layering technique (i.e., method whereby the filter paper is touched to several drops of blood). A single large drip of blood should be used to saturate the filter paper circle. Do not touch or handle the filter paper. Allow blood filter paper specimen to air dry horizontally for approximately 4 hours at room temperature. Deliver specimens to the Specimen Processing Area of the laboratory for mailing to the State Laboratory. 8. After collection, apply a sterile gauze pad or cotton ball to the puncture site and hold until the bleeding has stopped. For infants, this process may be accelerated if the foot is elevated. 9. Remove all materials used and dispose of microlancets immediately in needle disposal container provided. 10. Deliver specimens properly sealed, mixed, and labeled along with appropriately completed requisitions to the Laboratory Specimen Processing Area. 11. All specimens should be placed in sealed, disposable plastic bags to prevent contamination by breakage or spillage. BLOOD PREPARATION PROCEDURES There are two important guidelines to follow when submitting blood specimens. For some tests. such as chemistry procedures, fasting samples are often the specimen of choice. Also, because hemolysis and lipemia interfere with many procedures, please submit samples that are as free from hemolysis and lipemia as possible. PREPARING SERUM Serum Preparation From Red Top Tube. Follow the steps below when preparing a serum specimen for submission. 1. Draw whole blood in an amount 2 1/2 times the required volume of serum so that a sufficient amount of serum can be obtained. The 5 ml red top tube will yield approximately 2.5 ml serum after clotting and centrifuging. Label the specimen appropriately. 2. Place the collection tube in the upright position in the rack, and allow the blood to clot at room temperature for no longer than minutes. If clotting fails to occur within 30 minutes, notify the physician. 3. After allowing clot to form minutes, insert the tube in the centrifuge, stopper end up. Operate the centrifuge for 15 minutes at the speed recommended by the manufacturer. Do not allow prolonged centrifugation as this may cause hemolysis. When using a bench-top centrifuge, employ a balance tube of the same type containing an equivalent volume of water. The tube stopper should remain. 4. Turn the centrifuge off and allow it to come to a complete stop. Do not stop it by hand or brake. Remove the tube carefully without disturbing the contents. 5. Remove the stopper and carefully aspirate all serum from cells, using a separate disposable pipette for each tube. Place the tip of the pipette against the side of the tube, approximately 1/4 inch above the cell layer. Do not disturb the cell layer or carry any cells over into the pipette, It cells do enter the pipette, recentrifuge the entire specimen. 6. Transfer the serum from the pipette into the transfer tube. Inspect the serum for signs of hemolysis and turbidity by holding it up to the light. Be sure to provide the laboratory with the amount of serum specified. 7. Label the tube carefully and clearly with all pertinent information or bar code. Unless otherwise indicated, serum samples may be sent at room temperature. When multiple tests requiring frozen serum are ordered, a plastic transfer tube should be prepared for each test. When frozen serum is required, place the plastic transfer tube(s) immediately in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. Notify your professional service representative that you have a frozen specimen to be picked up; A separate frozen sample must be submitted for each test requiring a frozen specimen. Serum Separator Tubes (SST ). Serum separator (Gold, mottled red/gray top) Tubes contain clot activator and gel for separating serum from cells but include no anticoagulant. Adhere to the following steps when using a serum separator tube; Do not use serum separator tubes to submit specimens for which tricyclic antidepressant levels, Direct Coombs', Blood Group, and Types are requested.
6 1. Draw whole blood in an amount 21/2 times the required volume of serum so that a sufficient amount of serum can be obtained. The 5 ml Gold top tube will yield approximately 2 ml serum after clotting and centrifuging. The 10 ml mottled red/gray top tube yields approximately 4 ml serum. Label the specimen appropriately. 2. Gently invert the serum separator tube five times to mix the clot activator and blood. 3. Place the collection tube in the upright position in the rack, and allow the blood to clot at room temperature for no longer than minutes. (Clots usually form in minutes.) 4. After allowing the clot to form minutes, insert the tube in the centrifuge, stopper end up. Operate the centrifuge for 15 minutes at the speed recommended by the manufacturer. Do not allow prolonged centrifugation as this may cause hemolysis. When using a bench-top centrifuge, employ a balance tube of the same type containing an equivalent volume of water. 5. Turn the centrifuge off and allow it to come to a complete stop. Do not stop it by hand or brake. Remove the tube carefully without disturbing the contents. Inspect the barrier gel to ensure that it has sealed the serum from the packed cells. Also, examine the serum for signs of hemolysis (red color) and turbidity (milky or opaque) by holding it up to the light. Be sure to provide the laboratory with the amount of serum specified. 6. Make sure the tube is clearly labeled with all pertinent information or bar code. 7. If a frozen specimen is not required, it is not necessary to transfer serum to a plastic transport tube. 8. When frozen serum is required, always transfer the serum (using a disposable pipette) into a separate, clearly labeled plastic transfer tube Place the tube immediately in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, and notify the professional service representative that you have a frozen specimen to be picked up. Never freeze a glass serum separator tube. Submit a separate clearly labeled plastic transfer tube for every test requiring a frozen sample. Unless otherwise indicated, serum samples may be sent at room temperature. PLASMA PREPARATION When plasma is required, follow these steps. 1. Always use the proper vacuum tube for tests requiring a special anticoagulant (e.g., EDTA, heparin, sodium citrate, etc) or preservative. 2. Tap the tube gently to release additive adhering to the tube or stopper diaphragm. 3. Permit the vacuum tube to fill completely. Failure to fill the tube will cause an improper blood-toanticoagulant ratio and yield questionable test results. 4. To avoid clotting, mix the blood with the anticoagulant or preservative immediately after drawing each sample. To ensure adequate mixing, slowly invert the tube five to six times using a gentle wrist rotation motion. 5. Immediately centrifuge the specimen for 5minutes. Do not remove the stopper. 6. Turn the centrifuge off and allow it to come to a complete stop. Do not stop it by hand or brake. Remove the tube carefully without disturbing the contents. 7. If you do not have a Light Green top tube (Plasma Separator tube), remove the stopper and carefully aspirate plasma, using a separate disposable Pasteur pipette for each tube. Place the tip of the pipette against the side of the tube, approximately 1/4 inch above the cell layer. Do not disturb the cell layer or carry any cells over into the pipette. Do not pour off; use transfer pipette, 8. Transfer the plasma from the pipette into the transfer tube. Be sure to provide the laboratory with the amount of plasma specified. 9. Label all tubes clearly and carefully with all pertinent information or bar code. All tubes should be labeled with the patient's full name or identification number as it appears on the test request form or affix bar code. Also, print on the label the type of plasma submitted (e.g., "Plasma, Sodium Citrate," "Plasma, EDTA," etc). 10. When frozen plasma is required, place plastic transfer tube(s) immediately in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, and notify your professional service representative that you have a frozen specimen to be picked up.
