This article discusses what those who draw blood specimens from pediatric patients must know in order to minimize the trauma of the experience for the child, obtain specimens that are not affected by preanalytical errors, protect the child from injury, and safeguard the collector from accidental exposures. Pointers include proper site selection, prewarming techniques, strategies to calm fears, proper positioning, and performing a painless venipuncture. (2,205 words, 5 pages)
