A=Basilic, B=Cephalic, C=Median Cubital
A=Basilic, B=Median Cubital, C=Cephalic
A=Cephalic, B=Median Cubital, C=Basilic
A=Median Cubital, B=Cephalic, C=Basilic

Remove tube from needle, withdraw needle to just below skin surface, anchor vein, redirect needle into vein

EXPLANATION
A vein may roll if it is not correctly anchored.
Remove the tube from the needle to preserve the vacuum, withdraw the needle until the bevel is just under the skin, anchor the vein, and redirect the needle into the vein.
If there is still no blood flow, remove the tourniquet, ensure the patient's hand is open, withdraw the tube, and remove the needle from the patient's arm.

Which of the following is the correct order of tube draw when using the evacuated system?

Red, Light Blue, Green, Lavender
Light Blue, Red, Green, Lavender
Lavender, Red, Green, Light Blue
Red, Green, Light Blue, Lavender

What is the risk of drawing blood from the basilic vein is possible damage to the?

Under the basilic vein runs an artery and a nerve, so puncturing here runs the risk of damaging the nerve or artery and is usually more painful. DO NOT insert the needle where veins are diverting, because this increases the chance of a haematoma.

What is the risk you run by going too deep in the basilic vein?

The basilic vein is also commonly used for a venipuncture in the forearm rather than the upper arm. This is because halfway up the upper arm, the vein turns inwards to become a deep vein. Deep veins run along arteries and present a risk for puncture to the artery.

Can you draw blood from the basilic vein?

This vein can be found along the upper arm to the thumb, but it is commonly drawn from the forearm or antecubital fossa area. Also found in the antecubital fossa, the basilic vein serves as a last resort for blood draws.

What are the risks of drawing blood from a paralyzed limb?

If an arm is paralyzed, the venous pump is lost, dramatically increasing the risk of vein thrombosis. No matter how good your technique, you disrupt the vein's tunica intima and traumatize the vein every time you perform venipuncture.
