Most people aren’t aware of the injuries that can be inflicted during a routine venipuncture. Yet hundreds if not thousands of patients every year suffer permanent, disabling, disfiguring, and paralyzing injuries—even amputation and death—as a result of improperly performed venipuncture procedures. This video includes actual case studies from the files of an expert witness illustrating key concepts and detailing the most common mistakes phlebotomists and their managers make that result in injury.
Features include:
- eye-popping 3D graphic animation of the proper angle of insertion and the mechanics of nerve injury;
- discussions of the most common phlebotomy-related injuries and the errors healthcare personnel commit that inflict them;
- detailed information on patient identification, nerve injuries, antecubital anatomy, preventing hematoma and much more;
- over 15 reenactments of actual phlebotomy-related injuries that have prompted legal action against healthcare providers;
- an opportunity to earn 1.0 hour of ASCLS P.A.C.E.® continuing education credit;
- consistent with the most recent CLSI venipuncture standard, H3-A6 (revised November, 2007).
