Phlebotomy is the process of drawing blood from a patient, typically from a vein (venipuncture) or skin (capillary puncture), using a needle. It provides crucial medical information to diagnose conditions. The key steps for each procedure include preparing the patient and equipment, selecting and cleaning the puncture site, inserting the needle to draw blood into collection tubes in a specific order, applying pressure and bandaging the site, and transporting specimens to the lab for testing. Proper equipment like needles, tourniquets, and collection tubes are required to draw and handle different types of blood samples safely and effectively.
