Probably one of the most thorough procedures video for how to draw blood cultures we've ever seen. Wonder if in real life the decontamination precautions are followed that extensively given that on average 20-40% of positives are due to contamination (or what in the video was described as false positive).

In any case, the video is worth watching for those who don't have firsthand experience with how blood cultures are drawn.

Another good video showing how blood cultures are worked up in the microbiology lab.

Watch this video to get an understanding of the magnitude of the problem of sepsis and why it's so critical to diagnose and treat with appropriate antibiotics as early as possible.
