Where should the tourniquet be placed when performing an antecubital venipuncture?

The tourniquet should be placed around the upper arm, approximately 3 to 4 inches above the antecubital fossa, where the veins are more prominent. It should be tight enough to restrict venous blood flow but not so tight that it causes discomfort or arterial occlusion. The tourniquet should be released once the needle is inserted to reduce the risk of hemoconcentration and ensure accurate blood sample results.
