70 CHAPTER 3 ■ Venipuncture Techniques
Step 13. Remove the plastic needle cap and ex-amine the needle for defects such as nonpointedor barbed ends.
Step 15. Grasp the assembled needle and tubeholder using your dominant hand with the thumbon the top near the hub and your other fingersbeneath. Smoothly insert the needle into the veinat a 15- to 30-degree angle with the bevel up untilyou feel a lessening of resistance. Brace the fin-gers against the arm to prevent movement of theneedle when changing tubes.
Step 14. Anchor the vein by placing the thumbof the nondominant hand 1 to 2 inches belowthe site and pulling the skin taut.
Step 16. Using the thumb, advance the tube onto the evacuated tube needle, while the indexand middle fingers grasp the flared ends of theholder.

Patient Identifi cation
ALERT: Two forms of identifi cation are recommended for the identifi cation of all patients.
For a Hospitalized Patient1. Verbally identify the patient by asking the patient to state
his or her full name.2. Check that the information on the patient’s ID band matches
the information on the requisition form, including:■ Patient’s name.■ Hospital identifi cation number.■ Date of birth.■ Physician. ALERT: Verify any discrepancies between the patient’s ID
band and the requisition form before performing venipuncture.
For an Outpatient■ Verbally identify the patient by asking the patient to state his
or her full name, address, birth date, or unique identifi cation number.
■ Compare the response to the requisition form.■ Check the patient’s photo identifi cation, if required.■ Check the patient’s ID band or patient ID card, if available.
ALERT: Verify any discrepancies between the patient’s ID and the requisition form before performing venipuncture.

15. Refer to the following scatterplot, histograms, andautomated values on a 28-year-old woman who hadpreoperative laboratory testing. A manual WBCdifferential was requested by her physician. TheWBC differential was not significantly differentfrom the automated five-part differential; however,the technologist noted 3+ elliptocytes/ovalocyteswhile reviewing the RBC morphology. What is themost likely diagnosis for this patient?
Answers to Questions 15–16
15. B The finding of ovalocytes as the predominant RBCmorphology in peripheral blood is consistent withthe diagnosis of hereditary elliptocytosis (HE), orovalocytosis. This disorder is relatively common andcan range in severity from an asymptomatic carrier tohomozygous HE with severe hemolysis. The mostcommon clinical subtype is associated with no orminimal hemolysis. Therefore, HE is usually associatedwith a normal RBC histogram and cell indices and willgo unnoticed without microscopic evaluation of theperipheral smear.
16. A The osmotic fragility test is indicated as aconfirmatory test for the presence of numerousspherocytes, and individuals with hereditaryspherocytosis (HS) have an increased osmotic fragility.The MCHC is elevated in more than 50% of patientswith spherocytosis, and this parameter can be usedas a clue to the presence of HS. Spherocytes have adecreased surface-to-volume ratio, probably resultingfrom mild cellular dehydration.

5Special Blood Collection
4607_Ch05_103-128 08/02/16 9:49 AM Page 103
FASTING SAMPLES
Assessment of patient preparation is necessary beforeblood collection for laboratory tests that require the patient to be fasting or in a basal state. Fasting differsfrom a basal state condition in that the patient mustonly have refrained from eating and drinking (exceptwater) for 12 hours, whereas in the basal state the patientalso must have refrained from exercise. It is the respon-sibility of the blood collector to verify that the patientis in the fasting or basal state when required.
Test results most critically affected in a nonfasting pa-tient are those for glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, orlipid profiles. If the patient has not fasted, it must benoted on the requisition form. Prolonged fasting in-creases bilirubin and triglyceride results and markedlydecreases glucose levels.
TIMED SAMPLES
Blood collections are frequently requested for specifictimes, and the timing of sample collection must bestrictly followed for accurate test results. Reasons fortimed samples are shown in Box 5-1.
Collecting a sample early could yield a falsely ele-vated result, whereas collecting the sample late couldyield a falsely normal result. Misinterpretation of test re-sults can cause improper treatment for the patient. Themost frequently encountered timed samples are dis-cussed in this chapter.

INTRODUCTION
Certain laboratory tests require the use of techniquesthat are not part of the routine venipuncture proce-dure. These procedures may involve patient prepara-tion, timing of sample collection, blood collectiontechniques, sample handling, and sample transport.The blood collector must know when these tech-niques are required, how to perform them, and howsample integrity is affected when they are not per-formed correctly.
COLLECTION PRIORITIES
Test orders are designated as routine, STAT, or timed.Turnaround times (TATs) are based on these designa-tions. Routine tests are ordered by the health-careprovider to diagnose and monitor a patient’s condition.STAT tests have the highest priority. Timed tests mustbe collected at a specific time. The samples must be de-livered to the laboratory promptly and the laboratorypersonnel notified.
TECHNICAL TIP 5-1
Drinking water is encouraged to avoid dehydrationin the patient, which can affect laboratory results.
TECHNICAL TIP 5-2
A specimen that appears lipemic is an indicationthat the patient was not fasting and the lipemia mayinterfere with laboratory testing.

of antibodies against known HLA types. These antibod-ies are prepared from cell lines or from donors or knownHLA types. Plates preloaded with antibodies (typingtrays) are commercially available, or laboratories mayconstruct their own antibody panels. The collection of an-tibodies may be modified to represent ethnic populationsor antigens of high prevalence in particular geographicalareas. The repeated use of antibody preparations facili-tates the recognition and recording of the antigen bindingcharacteristics of the various antibodies. Experiencedtechnologists have detailed documentation of antibodypanels, including which antibodies bind antigen well andwhich antibodies bind less strongly.
To begin the typing procedure, different antibodies areplaced in each well of a typing tray (a plastic plate withshallow wells). Donor or recipient lymphocytes to betyped are distributed to the wells. Cross-reactivity is as-sessed by the uptake of trypan blue or eosin red dye incells that have been permeabilized due to reaction withthe antibody and with the complement that is activated bythe antigen-antibody complexes (Fig. 15-6). Cytotoxicityis scored by the estimated percentage of cells in a wellthat have taken up the dye. The American Society forHistocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI) has developed guidelines for numerical description of the observed cytotoxicity (Table 15.4). High cytotoxicity
(reading >6) in a well of the plate indicates that the cellsbeing tested have cell surface antigens matching theknown antibody in that well. As reading is somewhatsubjective, it is recommended that trays should be readby at least two technologists independently. An exampleof partial results from a CDC test is shown in Table 15.5.

■ Figure 15-5 Crossmatching to known antibodies is performed on buffy coat (leukocytes andplatelets, left) in a 96-well plate format where each well contains different known antibodies. If theantibody matches the cellular antigen (positive reaction, top), complement-dependent cytotoxic-ity will occur, and the dead cell will take up stain (green). If the antibody does not match the cellular antigen, there is no cytotoxicity.
