When is it advisable to loosen a tourniquet?

Does a tourniquet stop veins from rolling?
Not really. Some people just have veins that roll no matter what. Your phlebotomy skills will improve with practice.
What is the proper pressure of a tourniquet in phlebotomy?
In phlebotomy, the tourniquet should be tight enough to obstruct venous outflow, but not tight enough to obstruct arterial flow. Anything less than the systolic blood pressure is ok (i.e. will not obstruct arterial blood flow), but typically much less pressure is needed as veins are a low pressure system.
Why do you apply a tourniquet during phlebotomy?
A tourniquet is applied during phlebotomy to temporarily restrict blood flow in the veins, making them more prominent and easier to locate and puncture. This enhances visibility and access to the veins, facilitating the collection of a blood sample. It also helps to minimize the risk of hemolysis and ensures a more accurate sample by preventing blood dilution from surrounding tissues. The tourniquet should be removed as soon as the needle is inserted to reduce discomfort and potential complications.

A phlebotomist must collect a blood specimen from an isolation patient with contact transmission precautions What is the best type of tourniquet to use to perform the venipuncture and why?
For a patient under contact transmission precautions, the best type of tourniquet to use is a disposable, single-use tourniquet. This minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and infection, as it can be discarded immediately after use, preventing the spread of pathogens. Additionally, using a disposable tourniquet aligns with infection control protocols in isolation settings.
