Phlebotomy Training Video

[chrisl]

You are excellent at explaining. I learned to NEVER put your index finger near the needle insertion point. Inversion is gentle so you don't destroy the cells. When you pull out the needle, place the gauze over the insertion point, however with your thumb and index finger on either side of the needle so as you place the gauze you are not pushing down on the needle. Just a couple things my teacher taught me.

New phlebotomists, find another video. Some of the things she does follow outdated guidelines or is just plain wrong.

Never palpate after the skin has already been cleansed or would recleans it with a new alcohol wipe which you did not do. Also you do not shake the tube like she did you gently invert them 4-6 times.

You should invert the tubes to mix the additive in the tube. Don't shake the tube from side to side.

This video was done 4 years ago. It was probably on point at that time. All she'll need to do is update it to now. I think she did a good job in explaining what she was doing and why. A new video, would help if she did both needles, straight and butterfly. 😊

I saw a few mistakes in this video. She inverted her tubes too 😮quickly, and new procedures say you should never make a fist when having your blood drawn! What many patients don't realize is that pumping their fist can inadvertently 👉🏻double the concentration of potassium👈🏻in the sample of blood. And when that happens, the physician gets potassium results that no longer represent what's really going on with the patient.

I'm training to become a phlebotomist currently, and I aim to be so much better than the wicked lady that gave me a hematoma fishing around my veins with 2 inch long nails, I should have reported her.

[kimhill]

Oh my goodness! There are serious errors made in this video. STOP DO NOT USE THIS AS A TEACHING TOOL!

[daniellealeksieva]

Why is she putting her finger in front of the

[Beenladen]

how much length of needle needs to be inserted inside the vein? If we insert more than needed is there chance of puncture on the other side of the vein because vein diameter is very small.

[TheSilvermoondancer]

She didn’t remove the tube before removing the needle?? But said that it should be done. Not sure I heard it right..

[ctg]

Wow.. you’re amazing! Thank you for this great video! 💯🙏🏽

[Iwanttoblowmybrainsoutrn]

This is scary, but i have to learn this in my patient care class

[JenniferRobinson-uxte]

DO NOT USE THIS VIDEO. As a Phlebotomy Instructor with 11 years experience, a lot lf this stuff is wrong. Very little is correct.😢 You will stick yourself on accident. Smh!!!! No mam!

[Walwatf]

No c making, while u anchor, u might end up puncturing your own finger

[jovanluis]

Looks like she shook the tubes pretty hard. Aren't you supposed to just turn them as the diagram showed at video mark 3:12...?

[MARIASANCHEZ-ulms]

I'm just getting started learning and I got pissed at the end cause my kid got poked over 5 times!! Thanks very helpfuk

2 min into the video, but I just got my license and we were told to not have them pump their fist, that can mess with lab levels, only have them do so if they are donating blood. A different way of getting simulator results is to manipulate the arm, bend it, turn the hand over, that sort of thing.

"slowly and gently remove the needle from the vein"

Pulls it out really fast
