Why blood does not clot while transfused through syringe?
Blood clotting begins immediately when blood is drawn into a syringe but the time to form a clot dense enough to clog up a syringe varies based on numerous factors. These can include the amount of thrombin and fibrinogen present in the patient's blood (both compounds needed to make clots), the surrounding temperature and even how roughly the sample is handled (shaking a blood sample can speed up clotting). Also syringes sometimes coated or contain anti-clotting compounds (such as citrate- dextrose) to slow down the clotting process.
