With skin punctures, the haematology specimen is collected first, followed by the chemistry and blood bank specimens. This order of drawing is essential to minimize the effects of platelet clumping. The order used for skin punctures is the reverse of that used for venepuncture collection.
What are the steps in skin puncture procedure?Perform the skin puncture.
Place the puncture device on the patient's skin and activate the release mechanism. Dispose of the puncture device in a Sharps container. For infants, the heel puncture should be no deeper than 2.0 mm. Wipe the first drop of blood away with dry gauze.
