Therapeutic Phlebotomy Equipment

Specialties Infusion

Published

To those infusion nurses and Hem-Onc nurses who perform therapeutic phlebotomy for p.vera or hemachromatosis....

In your organization, what sort of equipment do you use.. here are 2 choices:

(1) an empty blood collection bag which has attached tubing and 16G needle......or....

(2) a 1 liter vacuum glass bottle which requires separate tubing, needle, and stopsock.

I am working on a policy for our institution and would appreciate knowing what others are using in their practice. Also, if possible, just indicate the region of the vountry you live/work in. Thanks.
