Performing Phlebotomy with a Butterfly!

Here I show my most recent draw. If you can’t tell from the video, I am laying down. If I do not, I pass out, which is pretty funny, because I can draw other peoples with absolutely no problem! I had multiple lab tests ordered from my doctor, and that’s why multiple tubes were collected. Also, the scratches are from yesterday when Zelda, my pup, decided she didnt like getting the knots in her fur cut out! The needle used is a 25 Gauge “Butterfly” AKA (Vacuette Safety Collection Set + Luer Adapter) by Greiner bio-one. and the vacutainer is by the same company and called the Vacuette Holdex.
Also, a lot of phlebotomists remove a tip of their glove to feel for the vein, but then put on a new glove with fingers intact when ready to perform the venipuncture.
