The collection of the blood specimen of the hospitalized patients is a common procedure. Hemolysis is the major reason for recollecting. This article focused on the affecting factors related to the collecting procedure of the hemolyzed specimens. There has been no relevant article directly related to the affecting factors related to the collecting procedure of the hemolyzed specimen published in Taiwan. We reviewed international articles to explore the affecting factors related to the collecting procedure of the hemolyzed specimens. The affecting factors included the materials of the aspiration, the size of the catheter or straight needle, the anatomic location, the ways to use tourniquet, the differences of the skills of the performers and patients themselves, transportation, the frequencies of the specimen being gently inverted, the ways of drawing blood into tubes, the timing of centrifuging blood specimens, different specimens, and whether venipuncture before alcohol vaporized or not. Limitations of related researches and suggestions on nursing practices, nursing education and nursing research were also discussed. |
