CONTIENE AL FINAL COMO USAR EL TORNIQUETE PARA LA EXTRACCIÓN DE SANGRE:

Tourniquets are sometimes used during blood extraction to help make the veins more visible and easier to access. However, it’s important to use them correctly to avoid any potential harm. Here are the steps to use a tourniquet correctly for blood extraction:

1.Select the appropriate tourniquet. Choose a tourniquet that is made of a material that is easily sanitized, such as latex-free rubber, and is not too tight for the patient’s arm.

2.Place the tourniquet on the patient’s arm. Wrap the tourniquet around the upper arm, just above the elbow joint. Make sure that it is snug but not too tight.

3.Ask the patient to make a fist. This will help the veins in the arm to stand out more prominently.

4.Apply the tourniquet pressure. Press down on the tourniquet until the veins bulge and become more visible. However, do not tighten the tourniquet too much, as this can cause pain and damage to the veins.

5.Begin the blood draw. Insert the needle into the vein and begin the blood draw. Release the tourniquet as soon as blood flow is established.

6.Dispose of the tourniquet properly. After use, remove the tourniquet and dispose of it in a proper biohazard waste receptacle.

Remember to always follow proper infection control practices, such as washing your hands and wearing gloves, when performing any type of blood draw or medical procedure. If you’re unsure about how to use a tourniquet correctly, or if you encounter any difficulties during the blood draw, don’t hesitate to seek assistance from a healthcare professional

En phlebotomy, generalmente se utilizan dos tipos de torniquetes:

Torniquete de látex: Este es el tipo más común de torniquete utilizado en phlebotomy. Está hecho de látex y se ajusta alrededor del brazo del paciente para ayudar a restringir el flujo sanguíneo y hacer que las venas sean más fáciles de encontrar y puncionar.

Torniquete de presión neumática: Este tipo de torniquete utiliza una bomba manual para inflar una bolsa de aire alrededor del brazo del paciente. Esto ayuda a restringir el flujo sanguíneo de manera más precisa y controlada que un torniquete de látex. Aunque es menos común en phlebotomy, se utiliza en situaciones en las que se necesita una restricción más precisa del flujo sanguíneo
