This is soooo unprofessional - even if they are in training they should take it more seriously and treat each other as real patients. I hope my practices are more professional than this!!
i hate how everyone is being so critical. Everybody acts like phlebotomy is supposed to be easy. Its his first time, you cant expect people to be able to get this stuff right off the bat. Thats why they PRACTICE. sheesh
the clown didnt even know what vein was the Median or Cephalic. Then he let the butterfly go. You are supposed to hold it. In Phlebotomy now and I wouldnt let this kid draw on me
The tourniquet cant be on for more than a minute. That particular person had M veins rather than H which means you should be extra careful drawing. Butterfly really shouldnt be used like that either. Butterfly=10 degree angle. ETS=45 degree angle
I'm a phlebotomist that aced my finals and graduated at the top of my class. The tourniquet was left on the arm extemely to long which can cause altered lab results and can even blow the vein. The needle fell out either because it was not pushed in far enough or because of the pressure that built up due to the tourniquet being left on for too long. I wouldn't want this person drawing my blood!
we weren't allowed to practice on anyone in school. Some of the staff on clinical placement let me try on them and my 8 year old daughter let me do it on her after paying her 5 bucks.
haha thats how you learn in school it was thier first time and its IN SCHOOL so chill out!!!! thats how you learn you do it on students with each other thats what we did and Im sure the rest of you did too
i remember i was getting blood drawn once, and when the nurse was pulling the constricting band off, she somehow managed to lose her balance, and the needle flipped up and went horizontally all the way into my arm. that was the weirdest feeling ever.
that may have been his first time but damn that was bad... shoot my first vien stick was on a 250lbs dog while it was trying to bight my arm off... i made the stick the first time... wow... Now on to the humans... lol
that may have been his first time but damn that was bad... shoot my first vien stick was on a 250lbs dog while it was trying to bight my arm off... i made the stick the first time... wow... Now on to the humans... lol
Tech school grrrrrr! The cephalic is the vien that lines with the thumb. The medium cubical is the most common and it is alined in the center of the upper forearm.
im a certified phleb. and ive had that happen to me before when i was in training... take the tourniquet off first then get gauze to put over the site then swiftly remove the needle and apply pressure.
do you practice on prosthetic arms before working on people? or do you just watch the professor and then do it? cuz i'd be scared doing that on a person!!!!!!!
you guys are at the point where your doing butterflies and you dont even know the difference between the basilic (which is over a nerver and artery) and the median cubital ....
If you are in further than 2mm you can let go of the butterfly. These guys wernt in nearly far enough, and that monster vein pushed the needle back out. But once you get in with the butterfly, you can absolutely let go of it and start filling your tubes.
seriously what a dumb ass your never supposed to let the needle go always hold on to the needle and dont take the needle out first obviously take off the tourniquet ..
Question for the students: Quote: "Can you miss that one?"
Actually yes it's very easy to miss: leave the band on too tight, too long, don't anchor that roller and stick away. Big fat venis can actually be hard to control.
Suggestion: put the tourniquet on and poke at it with only your fingers a few times. Make sure you understand how to anchor that monster so it doesn't roll out of sight before you go after it with the steel.
the next time you go to the doctor's place while they're putting the needle in you can listen to music on an mp3 real loud and keep your eyes closed till its over. :D
You can tell them that but sometimes depending on the pt, the median can be hard to feel. The last thing you want is a blind stick right down the middle...
Good first try! Everybody (even experienced phlebs) mess up sometimes. Don't listen to the rude comments. It's a brave thing to publicize your first try...I wouldn't dream of it (mine was UGLY lol).
hell if I wanna make someone lose blood all I need is a baseball bat and a bit of space and a good swing to the person's nose, hit the person with the bat and you got blood in the water.
that may have been his first time but damn that was bad... shoot my first vien stick was on a 250lbs dog while it was trying to bight my arm off... i made the stick the first time... wow... Now on to the humans... lol
@metalmasterk WHO CARES ABOUT IF ITS HIS FIRST TIME STICKING!!! this is sick, discusting and unprofessional. the class room is out of control, everybody is laughing and acting stupid and ignorant, and they are not taking it seriously. SILLY UNEDUCATED VIDEO!!!!
I almost puked at the last five seconds of this video. How could you smile and be so chill about it? I would have barfed all over the phlebotomy person.
god you guys left the torneque on for ever. bet you had a good bruise after that. i've seen students do alot worse than that. i dont lend my arm anymore for practice, acctually i dont let anyone take my blood anymore, i do it myself, lest i know what im doing, others scare me!
I couldn't tell at the end, did he puncture the vein and the blood started leaking out under the skin in a hematoma? Because like, wow. I think I need to watch that again o___o; I stick patients in a hospital tuesday and of course I wanna stand clear of that.
That dumbass sticking needs a reclass on sticking. From the looks of it she stuck that guy with the bevel down when its suppose to be up. You can tell cause when using a butterfly the wings are suppose be against the skin so they can fold up. If you look close the wings are facing up and impossible to fold. I'm surprised that no one has cought that. Feel sorry for people if she's out there sticking people.
actually there are TWO "medians", median cephalic (right in the middle), median cubital (the biggest one here, medial to median cephalic) and the auxiliary cephalic which often merges with the median cephalic proximal to the antecubital fossa.
And a plain ol' vacutainer adapter with a 21 x 1" is cheapest, quickest and best unless a very difficult vein presents. Butterfly needles are costly, have shorter bevels and are generally of small gauge.
And second - It really doesn't matter the size of the vein due to the fact that there are several sizes of butterfly needles. So Butterfly needles aren't necessarily for small veins.
the basilic is the last option you should have if you can locate the median or cephalic your best option would be the median it's the most common vein to draw a veni from
cephalic is radial side, basilic is ulnar. I would have done the cephalic it was more stable, and less likley to roll being located ontop of the radius.
Practice make perfect haha fucking gio smiling

I am a phlebotomist and when you are new, depending on who
Trained you, these things happen. If you have the butterfly in a slight bit
deeper, you can let go of it and it will stay. I had this happen to me in the beginning as well. It's not as simple as it may look to draw blood.

First off, you should never do an vein-puncture without cleaning from inward to outward.
Second, Never let your wing infusion go AKA Butterfly. Look at the base of the needle when your
Doing a vein-puncture because it will show a little blood in the needle and you know your in.
Just hold it in place and then fell up your tubes. Its Very easy I did then when I was 18 teen years old,
Now I am 20 going more into Biomedical Research. I find it more intriguing.
