Blood sampling is used to
assess overall health, diagnose
diseases, evaluate organ
function, and monitor the
effectiveness of treatments.
The number and types of blood
cells, chemicals, proteins, and
other blood components are
measured.
All samples for diagnosis,
confirmation, or research will be
considered potentially infectious, so
preventive measures related to
exposure to biological agents must
always be followed, as well as the
recommendations of the World
Health Organization's Laboratory
Biosafety Manual (Geneva, 2005).
A biologically adequate sample is
defined as the representative sample
of the site of the lesion, in sufficient
quantity placed in a clean container,
properly identified, preserved, and
transported.
Fainting : In some cases, can trigger a vasovagal reaction and cause fainting. Allergic Reaction: An allergic reaction is occurred from the use of antiseptic solutions. Infection: There is a very small risk of infection at the puncture site. Nerve Problema Blood collection can damage a nerve, causing pain or numbness. Large bruise or excessive bleeding: Although less common, these cases may require medical attention.
