Pediatric Venipuncture

This programme provides guidelines, rationale and instruction on paediatric venipuncture. The entire procedure is outlined, including items to check before the procedure is started, necessary equipment, and safe handling of tubes. It stresses two main goals of venipuncture: to perform the procedure with the least amount of injury and discomfort and to get a specimen that will yield the most accurate results.
