An assistant pulls the arm on the venipuncture side towards the caudal, making sure that the patient does not become tense. |
When venipuncture has been successfully carried out, the flow of blood can be seen through the translucent Luer adapter of the holder. |
The arm should be placed on the cushion so that the area for venipuncture is hyperextended. |
With the transparent view window in the needle hub, blood flow is visible immediately on correct venipuncture. |
All the blood samples were drawn by venipuncture by medical workers and were coded in the Occupational Medicine Unit. |
