Why are hand veins used as a last resort to obtain a blood specimen?
Hand veins are often used as a last resort for obtaining a blood specimen because they are generally smaller and more difficult to access compared to larger veins in the arm, such as the antecubital veins. This can make the procedure more challenging and increase the risk of complications, like hematoma or discomfort for the patient. Additionally, the blood flow in hand veins can be less robust, potentially affecting the quality of the specimen. Therefore, healthcare providers typically prefer to use arm veins first before resorting to the hand veins.
Why are veins on one hand bigger then the other hand?
Veins can appear larger on one hand due to several factors, including differences in muscle mass, activity levels, or even body position.

Additionally, genetic factors and variations in body composition can also contribute to the size difference in veins between the two hands.
