Butterfly or Winged Infusion Set
• Used for small veins on infants and small children
• Adults with difficult veins• Hand or wrist veins• Most commonly used needle is a 23g and
sometimes a 25g• Note:– Specimens can hemolyze– Tubes that are too large can collapse the vein
![Page 5: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Butterfly Winged Infusion Procedure
• Follow the same procedure as for a routine venipuncture
• When removing the butterfly from the package pull on the tubing to keep from coiling
![Page 6: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Butterfly Winged Infusion Procedure
• If using a hand vein, insert the needle at a 10 - 15 degree angle
• Either a syringe or an evacuated tube holder can be added to the end of the tube
![Page 7: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Butterfly• A flash of blood will appear in the tubing
• Seat the needle by threading it up the lumen of the vein. This action will prevent the butterfly from twisting
• If the needle needs to be held in place, use the index finger of your left hand with light pressure on the wing (do not tape wings)

Butterfly• Keep the tube and holder in
a downward position so that the tube fills from the bottom up
• Follow order of draw
• Safety cover the needle
• Be careful when disposing the needle, sometimes it tends to twist

Syringe Procedure• Follow the same procedure as for a routine
venipuncture
• Place needle on the hub of the syringe securely
• Move the plunger up and down, make sure it moves freely
• Push the plunger all the way to the down to the hub end where the needle is attached
![Page 14: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Syringe• When blood enters the syringe, pull the
plunger slowly
• Be careful not to pull the plunger out of the syringe
• Fill syringe to capacity but do not pull out the plunger
• Immediately transfer the contents of the syringe to the appropriate tubes with a safety transfer device

Safety Transfer Device
• Follow Order of Draw
• Always use a safety blood transfer device when filling tubes from a syringe draw
![Page 16: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Transferring Blood From a Syringe to a Tube
• If a safety transfer device is unavailable, use the following method:– Place the tube in a tube holder
– Keep your free hand behind your back, DO NOT hold the tube or the tube holder
– Slowly pierce the vacuum of the tube with the syringe
– Let the blood flow into the tube
![Page 17: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Skin Puncture• Venous
• Arterial
• Tissue
• Capillary
• More closely resembles arterial; especially if area is warmed
• Reference values for skin are different than venipuncture
![Page 21: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
When to Perform a Skin or Dermal Puncture
• Adults – No accessible veins
• Infants – Difficult to perform venipuncture, may damage
veins, to remove small amounts– Babies over the age of 1 year
• Some laboratory tests are designed to be performed by the skin puncture
![Page 22: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Skin or Dermal Puncture Equipment
• Lancet• Microcontainers– red– purple– green
• Microhematocrit Tubes– Hematology or Chemistry Testing
• Warming Devices– Increase the blood flow as much as 7X
![Page 23: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Site Selection
• Skin puncture sites should be warm, pink and free of cuts, bruises or rashes.
• Do not choose a site that is cold, cyanotic or swollen
![Page 24: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Finger Punctures• Finger punctures can be used for adults
• Should not be performed on infants and children less than one year
• Recommended site: middle finger of the non-dominant hand (second choice: ring finger)
• Remember: Band-aids should not be placed on pediatric patients
![Page 25: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

• Properly identify of the client
• Select the site, warm area for at least 3 minutes
• Cleanse the site and let completely dry
![Page 36: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Heel Stick Procedure
• Hold the foot with a firm grip, grasp heel with thumb
placed below puncture site and index finger placed over
the arch
• Puncture site at a 90 degree angle parallel to the heel
• Use a quick continuous motion
![Page 37: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Heel Stick Procedure• Wipe away the first drop of blood• Ease thumb pressure and apply intermittent
pressure. Avoid milking and scraping• Follow recommended order of draw • When blood collection is complete, clean
area, apply pressure. – Never apply band-aid under the age of two
• Label specimens immediately after the draw; never before
![Page 38: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Heel Stick Technique• Infant heels are appropriate for blood collection
until approximately 6 months to one year
• Never exceed 2.0 mm in puncture depth
• Never puncture the posterior curvature of the heel or the arch of the foot
• Never use sites previously punctured, bruised, swollen or red in color
• Never puncture the heel more than twice for any one collection
![Page 39: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
ANY QUESTIONS?
![Page 40: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Knowledge Check• What is the maximum length of a lancet for
performing a heel stick?– Answer: 2.0 mm
• Why is the first drop of blood wiped away during the collection of the finger stick?– Answer: first drop is contaminated with tissue
fluid and will dilute specimen (give false lower results)
• What is the finger of choice for performing a finger stick?– Answer: Middle finger of either hand
![Page 41: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Remember: Order of Draw for Skin Puncture
• Peripheral bloods smear
• Hematology tests (EDTA)
• All other additive tubes
• All plain / serum tubes
![Page 42: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Successful Blood Collection through Skin Puncture
• Warming the site increases the flow sevenfold
• Avoid milking or scraping the site which can cause hemolysis
• Alternately applying and releasing pressure will promote a good flow
![Page 43: Methodologies and Regulations in Specimen Collection and Management Module 6: Special Draws.](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110320/56649cbf5503460f949844a0/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Betadine or iodine should not be used to cleanse. It interferes with bilirubin, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, total protein, and glucose results
• Failure to allow alcohol to dry will cause hemolysis and stinging
