Blood tests
Introduction: Blood tests
Many conditions can be confirmed by testing the blood
for numerous substances and properties.
There are literally hundreds of different types
of blood tests.
Complications of blood tests:
The actual collection of blood for a blood test
rarely causes any complications
beyond some minor bruising at the insertion site.
A good attendant can reduce the amount of pain from insertion,
but a common cause of pain is uncontrolled or sideways removal
of the needle after blood is collected.
For example, the nurse
may forget to take care with the very last step
and this can actually cause the worst pain and bruising.
Infant blood tests:
Collecting infant blood is far more difficult than
for older children or adults.
In some cases, a blood drop may be adequate,
such as from the heel of an infant
as done for infant screening tests.
