Research shows that a 22-gauge needles will suffice without significant hemolysis (blood cell rupture). Remember that the bigger the gauge number, the smaller the diameter.Miller MA, Schlueter AJ. Transfusions via hand-held syringes and small-gauge needles as risk factors for hyperkalemia. Transfusion 2004;44:373-381.Frelich R, Ellis MH.
