Type your answer here... if a patient has an intravenous line (IV) in the arm, can the phlebotomist draw blood
The process of transferring blood from one body to another is called a blood transfusion. It involves collecting blood from a donor and then giving it to a recipient through an intravenous line. Before the transfusion, compatibility testing is done to ensure that the blood types match and that there is no risk of adverse reactions.
A blood transfusion is a safe, common procedure in which you receive blood through an intravenous (IV) line inserted into one of your blood vessels.
An intravenous (IV) line will also be inserted into a vein in the patient's arm before the procedure begins in case medication or blood products are required during the insertion.

The preferred site for inserting an intravenous medication line is usually the antecubital fossa in the arm, specifically the median cubital vein. This site is easily accessible and allows for smooth insertion of the catheter into a large vein, minimizing the risk of complications.
Usually, a discard volume of 5-10 mL of blood is recommended before collecting a sample from a central line to ensure that the sample is not contaminated with residual fluids or medications in the line. This helps ensure accurate test results.
