New Downloads

If you could have a conversation with a blood collection tube, what would it be like? Now you can find out. “If Tubes Could Talk” is one of two new downloads the Center for Phlebotomy Education recently added to its growing library of To The Point™ articles.
     “If Tubes Could Talk” is the compilation of a 4-part series of articles that originally appeared in Phlebotomy Today last year. Tubes “interviewed” in the article include Blue Top, Red Top, Green Top, and Lavender Top. The 17-page PDF reveals their hidden personalities and offers suggestions on their use in their own words.

The second addition to the library is titled “Reducing Pain during Infant and Pediatric Venipuncture.” The article reflects the most exhaustive literature review on the subject, summarizing the results of nearly 50 published studies on pain reduction techniques and strategies during phlebotomy. Categories include parental involvement, oral analgesics, aromatherapy, topical anesthetics, iontophoresis, and touch therapy.

Both articles are available for a nominal fee from the Center’s web site. For more information and to view the entire library of To The Point™ articles, visit:
