Venipuncture is the medical term used when drawing blood. Basically, it means your vein has had a needle stuck into it for some purpose.
The most common antiseptic used for venipuncture is 70% isopropyl alcohol. It effectively kills bacteria on the skin to reduce the risk of infection during the procedure.
When venipuncture is performed using a lavender vacutainer tube, the sample collected is typically used for hematology testing, such as complete blood count (CBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and blood typing. The lavender top tube contains EDTA as an anticoagulant to preserve the blood sample for these types of tests.
The risks of a creatinine test are very minimal. The test involves a simple blood draw or urine sample, which may cause minor discomfort or bruising at the site. There is also a small risk of infection at the collection site.
Typically, a red-top or green-top tube is used to collect blood for a digoxin level test. The blood sample is collected through a venipuncture procedure, and the tubes contain no anticoagulant. It's important to follow standard blood collection procedures and handle the sample with care to ensure accurate test results.
Home Depot, like most retailers, uses urine drug screening rather than blood drug screening. I've never heard of anyone drawing blood for a routine drug test, and I've been studying drug testing for 11 years.
A venipuncture is a puncture in a vein. As when a person gives blood or has a blood test run.
You use your thumb to keep the vein from "rolling" while doing a venipuncture.
