Phlebotomy Certification

Phlebotomy Certification

Phlebotomy ("to cut a vein" in Greek) is the process of making an incision in a vein. It is associated with venipuncture, the practice of collecting venous blood samples, and bloodletting, the ancient medical practice. A person who performs phlebotomy is termed a phlebotomist. Phlebotomists are people trained to draw blood from a live person or animal for tests, transfusions, donations, or research. Some countries and districts/states require phlebotomy personnel to be licensed or registered. Certification in the United States is done by examination from the American Society of Phlebotomy Technicians. Phlebotomists collect blood primarily by performing venepuncture and, for collection of minute quantities of blood, fingersticks.[1] Blood may be collected from infants by means of a heel stick.
