EVERY venipuncture that starts with a Tourniquet, ends with an INFILTRATION and a HEMOCONCENTRATION. That's a scientific fact: Starling's Equilibrium |
______________________________________ 1. An INFILTRATION of contrast effects the diagnosis, increasing the LOS. 2. An INFILTRATION of IVs fluids or meds increases the LOS. 3. A HEMOCONCENTRATION of the blood sample results in falsely elevated laboratory values, increasing the LOS. ________________________________________________________________________ |
