Phlebotomy Basics

The word phlebo comes from the Greek word for “blood vessel,” while – tomy means “incision.” A phlebotomist is responsible for safely drawing blood and performing associated activities. Phlebotomy is more complicated than most people realize—in addition to drawing blood, a phlebotomist must select the appropriate containers, label them correctly, and quickly bandage patients after drawing blood. It also helps to be good with people, as many patients feel nervous about the prospect of having their blood drawn.
