What to Expect During a Blood Draw
-
Preparation: You may be asked to fast or avoid certain medications before your blood draw. Our team will provide you with specific instructions based on the tests being performed.
-
Procedure: During the procedure, a healthcare professional will clean the area, typically the inside of your elbow or the back of your hand, with an antiseptic wipe. A tourniquet will be applied to your upper arm to make the veins more visible. A sterile needle will then be inserted into your vein to collect the blood sample.
-
Post-Procedure: After the blood draw, the needle will be removed, and a small bandage will be applied to the puncture site. You may be asked to apply pressure to the site for a few minutes to prevent bruising.

-
Post-Procedure Care: It is normal to experience slight bruising or tenderness at the puncture site. Applying a cold pack and keeping the area clean can help alleviate any discomfort.
