Manual Of Phlebotomy

The process of phlebotomy is lucidly described through textual and pictorial presentation, laying stress on
* Which veins to choose?
* What should be order dispensation in apt vials?
* What to do in difficult situations?
* What if a spill occurs?
* How to manage all the related emergencies that may arise while conducting phlebotomy?
Subsequent chapters present the sampling systems that are available commercially the world over; special circumstances like preparation for a blood donation; oral glucose tolerance test, etc.; arterial blood sampling, neonatal or pediatric blood sampling.
As it is not always possible or indicated to obtain venous blood, the alternative of capillary blood sampling has been covered in a separate chapter.
Specimen quality concerns and related disinfection processes are also covered under separate chapters.
As the author has a wide international exposure, international protocols are provided throughout the book.
The textbook makes an ideal reading for all those professional involved in phlebotomy-doctors, nurses, allied health staff, blood bank employees, medical laborator y technicians-rather everyone connected with blood sampling or transfusion.
