Position the patient's arm lower than his/her heart.

Reapply the tourniquet; it may not be tight enough

Massage the arm from the wrist to the elbow to encourage venous return

Tap sharply at the venipuncture site with your fingertips. This can cause the veins to dilate.

Use a blood pressure cuff in place of the tourniquet. Pump it to about 40-60 mm Hg.
