Marjorie Schaub Di Lorenzo, MT(ASCP)SH
Susan King Strasinger, DA, MT(ASCP)
∗ Differentiate between an evacuated tube system,
syringe, and a winged blood collection set for the
collection of blood by venipuncture.
∗ Differentiate among the various needle sizes as to
length, gauge, and purpose.
∗ Discuss methods to safely dispose of contaminated
needles.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
∗ Identify the types of evacuated tubes by color code,
and state the anticoagulants and additives present,
the mechanism of action, any special characteristics,
and the purpose of each.
∗ List the correct order of draw for the various types of
blood collection tubes.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
∗ Discuss the purpose and types of tourniquets.
∗ Name three substances used to cleanse the skin prior
to venipuncture.
∗ Discuss the use of gloves, gauze, and bandages when
performing venipuncture.

∗ Avoid
∗ Most have eliminated 20-gauge needles
∗ Patients on blood thinner = hematomas
∗ Use of 25-gauge needles
∗ Needle in vein longer
