  • 00:00

    Today, we're going to learn how to do a syringe draw.

  • 00:02

    Sometimes, we need to do this for patients whose veins cannot handle the pressure of

  • 00:07

    the vacuumized tubes.

  • 00:08

    The equipment that we're going to need is, obviously, we're going to need our evacuated

  • 00:11

    tube.

  • 00:12

    We will need a barrel syringe.

  • 00:14

    We'll need a hypodermic needle with a safety cap.

  • 00:18

    We'll also need a transfer device.

  • 00:20

    We'll need our gauze, our alcohol swabs, and, of course, our tape.

  • 00:25

    Let's go ahead and tear off a piece of tape.

  • 00:28

    Put that on the corner of the table.

  • 00:29

    We'll need our tourniquet.

  • 00:31

    Go ahead and apply this now.

  • 00:33

    I've already asked my patient for consent and I also explained the procedure.

  • 00:38

    And, I've also previously washed my hands.

  • 00:44

    So, we're going to palpate with our two index fingers of our non-dominant hand.

  • 00:52

    And, we need to ask our patient sometimes to make a fist, okay.

  • 01:00

    And, I've found my vein of choice.

  • 01:04

    Let's go ahead and landmark, okay.

  • 01:09

    Release.

  • 01:12

    Assemble our needles.

  • 01:13

    Make sure that our needles are in date and that our syringe is in date.

  • 01:16

    If this was expired, then we'd know that the needle and the syringe would no longer be

  • 01:21

    sterile.

  • 01:27

    With our syringe, you'll see that there's a Luer tip in here.

  • 01:31

    What Luer means is thread.

  • 01:33

    So, we can thread this on like a screw.

  • 01:36

    That's good and tight.

  • 01:39

    Set there.

  • 01:40

    We'll go ahead and apply our gloves now, okay.

  • 01:50

    And, we'll cleanse our patient right before we put our tourniquet back on.

  • 01:59

    Start in the center, circle concentric method, inside out.

  • 02:06

    Place to the side.

  • 02:12

    Place our tourniquet.

  • 02:20

    Make sure that our ends are up.

  • 02:22

    Have our patient make a fist, okay.

  • 02:28

    Go ahead and pull back our safety cap and release the cap down.

  • 02:34

    Check our needle.

  • 02:35

    Make sure everything's okay with it.

  • 02:37

    It's good.

  • 02:38

    And, also with the syringe, before you stick your patient, you want to pull back on the

  • 02:43

    plunger to loosen it.

  • 02:46

    Sometimes the needle's been sitting for a couple of years.

  • 02:48

    So, you just want to plunger a little bit before you stick the patient.

  • 02:53

    Anchor your vein.

  • 02:54

    And, one, two, stick.

  • 02:55

    You want to slowly pull back.

  • 03:05

    With this test we're performing, it's a serum test, I'm going to need three milliliters

  • 03:09

    of blood.

  • 03:10

    So, very slowly I'll pull back the plunger until I have three milliliters of blood.

  • 03:16

    I can tell when I have three milliliters of blood because my syringe is a graduate cylinder,

  • 03:22

    which means it's been marked on the side.

  • 03:25

    You'll see the blood slowly move in.

  • 03:28

    Gradually pull back your plunger.

  • 03:33

    This will take a little bit of time because, obviously, if we're doing this, our patient

  • 03:37

    cannot tolerate the suction from regular tubes.

  • 03:42

    It's also important to go very slow because if we pull our plunger back, we can hemolyze

  • 03:48

    our specimen by pulling back the plunger too fast, okay.

  • 04:00

    And, as we're doing this, keep in mind your patient may be nervous.

  • 04:08

    It's okay to talk to your patient.

  • 04:10

    It probably would put them at ease too.

  • 04:12

    This could take a couple of minutes to draw the amount of blood you need.

  • 04:17

    It looks like I almost have my three milliliters of blood.

  • 04:23

    So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to release my tourniquet, grab my gauze, fold it over

  • 04:32

    once, fold it over twice, pull my needle out, apply pressure, immediately safety cap.

  • 04:40

    And, this instance only, we can sit the syringe down on our disposable chuck and finish bandaging

  • 04:49

    our patient.

  • 04:51

    Okay, we have our patient bandaged.

  • 04:56

    Now, the next step, since we drew this into a syringe, we now need to move it from the

  • 05:01

    syringe into the evacuated tube.

  • 05:05

    Very carefully, you'll unscrew the safety cap needle.

  • 05:10

    Dispose of this in the biohazard.

  • 05:13

    You'll need your transfer device.

  • 05:16

    Make sure that it is in date also.

  • 05:20

    Attach your transfer device.

  • 05:22

    It screws in just like the needle.

  • 05:26

    Turn your syringe upside right.

  • 05:30

    And, insert your tube from the bottom.

  • 05:32

    Make sure that you face your label away.

  • 05:34

    This way, you can see when the tube is done collecting.

  • 05:38

    And, just gently press in and let the vacuum do the work for you.

  • 05:45

    Alright, and then we disengage our tube.

  • 05:50

    And, we'll invert three to four times, okay.

  • 05:54

    And, we'll discard our assembly into the biohazard box.

  • 05:59

    At this time, we''ll go ahead and put our patient's name on, the date, time, and our

  • 06:05

    initials.

  • 06:06

    And, we'll place into the biohazard bag and send our specimen to the lab.
