What happens during a blood test?

In most cases, this test takes only a few minutes. You can get this test done at your local hospital by a doctor, nurse or felotomist (specialist in taking blood samples).

If your veins are easily visible or detectable, it takes a very short time to take a blood sample. This process usually takes 5 to 10 minutes.

Nevertheless, sometimes it may take longer to identify the vein of some people. For which usually disorders such as dehydration, experience of a phobobotomist or doctor and the size of your veins may be responsible.

Blood tests usually take a blood sample from the vein in your arm.

The sample is taken by hand because it is a convenient part of the body. From where blood sample can be easily taken. Because, the veins of the elbow or wrist are close to the surface.

At the same time, blood samples from children are often taken from the back of the hand. Before taking a sample, a special type of spray or cream is applied to their skin to numb the area. So that they do not feel pain.

Also the tourniquet can usually be easily placed on the upper side of the arm. It tightens the arm and temporarily slows down the flow of blood causing swelling of the veins. Which makes it easier to take a blood sample.

Before sampling, doctors or nurses can also easily cleanse the area of the skin of the arm with antiseptic.

A needle attached to a syringe or special container is inserted into the vein for sampling. Syringes are used to remove a few drops of your blood. As the needle moves in, a slight prick or scratch may be felt, but it is not painful. If during this time you feel more pain, tell the person taking the sample about it so that they can make the process more comfortable for you.

The needle is taken out after taking blood drops. Where pressure is made from cotton for a few minutes so that blood does not flow.
