Sample of the Science
Ask yourself this - Why use the Tourniquet, what for, what's the purpose?
The answers are:
1. To dilate a vein.
2. Because making the vein bigger makes it easier to locate it.
3. So they dilate a vein to locate a vein.
How's that working so far? Don't multiple stick events still happen?
Here are some of the SCIENTIFIC FACTs about that Tourniquet:
- The Tourniquet was DESIGNED to 'prevent bleeding to death' - "to cut off the flow of blood'.
- The Tourniquet never was designed to 'dilate a vein'.
- Vein dilatation with a Tourniquet is an 'Artificial Dilatation', a forced distention of the vein, an over distention with blood.
- This has been scientifically proven to cause an immediate INFILTRATION. That's not a good thing in IVs.
- And this infiltration in blood draw immediately causes a HEMOCONCENTRATION of the blood - in layman's terms - this causes the lab test results to FALSELY elevate - the lab test results are altered - FALSELY ELEVATED.
- Look both of these terms up and read the SCIENCE - or get The Science Behind the Skill of Vein Access - or see the bibliography page (to be uploaded in the next week 4/17/2015).
There's a better way - the 21cVA way - for Locating, Dilating, Grading, and Accessing Veins.
