Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was conducted with 90 patients. The phlebotomy site was wiped with circular motion in the group-I, vertical movement in the group-II, and first vertical and then circular motion in the group-III.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different wiping motions used in phlebotomy on vein visibility, procedural success, and phlebotomy-related complications.

Background: In phlebotomy practice, many application guidelines or textbooks are used. In these references, it is seen that phlebotomy site is wiped with different motions.

Methods: This study was conducted with 90 patients. The phlebotomy site was wiped with circular motion in the group-I, vertical movement in the group-II, and first vertical and then circular motion in the group-III.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

circular motion

The phlebotomy site was wiped in a circular motion from the center outwards, approximately 5x5 cm wide.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

circular motion

Intervention Type OTHER

The phlebotomy site was wiped in a circular motion from the center outwards, approximately 5x5 cm wide.

vertical motion

The phlebotomy site was wiped vertically from top to bottom with a single maneuver.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

vertical motion

Intervention Type OTHER

The phlebotomy site was wiped vertically from top to bottom with a single maneuver.

first vertical then circular motion

The phlebotomy site was first vertically wiped from top to bottom with a single maneuver, and then it was wiped in a circular motion from the center to the outside. Different swabs were used in both wipes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

circular+vertical motion

Intervention Type OTHER

The phlebotomy site was first vertically wiped from top to bottom with a single maneuver, and then it was wiped in a circular motion from the center to the outside.
