When drawing blood what is happening when blood is clotting and they are unable to get the blood?
Blood cannot clot so quickly that it actually prevents a successful blood draw. If that were the case, you entire vascular system would be one giant clot. The only reason that a phlebotomist is unable to get a persons' blood is their (the phlebotomists') inability to draw the blood.

What does sodium citrate do when drawing blood samples?
Sodium citrate is an anticoagulant that is added to blood collection tubes to prevent the blood from clotting. It works by binding to calcium ions in the blood, which are necessary for the clotting process, and thereby inhibiting blood clot formation during sample collection and processing.
What is the cause of blood clotting immediately after drawing blood?
Blood clotting, or coagulation, is the body's natural reaction. If it didn't clot, you could possibly keep on bleeding until you bled to death. This helps to prevent that from happening. In humans, coagulation usually involves a cellular platelet and a protein factor . The platelets forms a sort of "plug" over the opening, like the prick of the needle from drawing blood. The protein factors then reinforce this "plug" of sorts to help keep it solid until the opening heals, scabs over, closes, ect.
