Question
Answer
the method and needle gauge selected depend on   the vessel size, the amount of blood required, the intended use of the sample and teh technicians preference  
🗑

🗑
wiping the hair and skin with isopropyl alcohol achieves   removal of skin contaminants, causes vasodilatation, improves visualization of the vein.  
🗑
the most important aspects of any venipuncture technique aare   proper restraint of the animal and proper distention and immobilization of the vessel  
🗑
the most frequently used sites for canine blood collection are   cephalic, jugular, and lateral spahenous veins  
🗑
the most frequently used sites for feline collection are   cephalic, jugular, femoral and medial saphenous  
🗑
In sternal positioning venipuncture is usually done   in a cephalad direction  
🗑
in lateral positioning venipuncture is generally done in a   caudal direction  
🗑
cephalic venipuncture   the vein is at the top anterior of the forearm  
🗑
jugular venipuncture   the vein is in the neck  
🗑
lateral saphenous venipuncture   the vein is on the outside of the back leg  
🗑
medial saphenous or femoral venipuncture   the vein is on the inside of the leg mainly used in cats. used to collect small amounts of sample  
🗑
marginal ear venipuncture   the edge of the ear in cats. used for small sample testing ie blood smears, glucose testing. the test strip should be designed to measure a capillary and not venous blood sample  
🗑
arterial blood sample   best used to test blood gases the best way to assess pulmonary function  
🗑
blood gases measure   the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2-ventilation) and oxygen (PaO2-oxygenation) in the blood  
🗑
the most common artery used for catheter placement is the   dorsal metatarsal artery  
🗑
advantages for using the dorsal metatarsal artery are   1. catheter can be taped rather than sutured. 2. risk of hematoma is reduced because of the tight SC tissues and the catheter is easier to maintain and kink less  
🗑
