Blood cultures aid | identifying bacterial organism causing infection |
Blood cultures collected by ? technique on patients with ? | aseptic, fevers of unknown origin |
bacteremia | bacteria in blood |
septicemia | "sepsis", inflammatory immune response due to bacteria in blood, usually fatal |
septicemia signs | fever, high heart rate, low bp, rapid breathing>>shock |
Important differences vs. venipuncture | greater detail in patient procedure instructions: more blood, 2 venip, "tubes" diff |
Interfering factors: antibiotics | collect before antibiotics. resin beads (charcoal) neutralize by mixing |
Blood culture ? in order of draw to | first. avoid needle contamination |
fill ? bottle 1st b/c | anaerobic. bacteria>>exposure to air>>die>>false neg result |
Best practice to ? from indwelling IV catheter | NOT draw |
? palpate sterile site | do NOT repalpate sterile site |
If must repalpate | wear sterile gloves, above/below puncture site |
iodine tincture swab | allergic chlorhex or <2 mos old |
chlorprep contains | chlorhexidine gluconate and alc |
blood culture draw - ask patient before procedure | allergies to antiseptics? |
70% alc prep = ? sec | 60 sec using circles (rids surface dirt) |
chlorhexidine gluconate = ? sec | 30 sec using circles |
chloraprep = ? sec | 30 sec scrubbing back/forth |
airdry = ? sec | 60 sec |
no chloraprep for | <2 mos old |
collection methods | syringe, butterfly, evac tube holder (SPS only) |
sterile cap removed>> | cleanse top with 70% alc |
? mL blood per bottle for adult? | 10 mL |
<3mL or extra collected>>>> | aerobic |
? mL pediatric blood culture bottle | 1-5 mL |
If iodine used | remove from skin, clean with alc |
? push plunger | NEVER |
Dr. Amy's preferred collection method | Butterfly with syringe |

lactose | milk and sugar |
lactase enyzme | breaks lactose>> glucose + galactose |
lactose symptoms | diarrhea, abd pain, bloating |
Lactose tolerance invasive method | lactose drink, plasma glucose level checks, not digested>>low glucose |
Why glucose in lactose test | Lactose>> glucose + galactose |
Lactose noninvasive method | breath hydrogen measured. used to diagnose lactase enzyme deficiency |
ABG from ? artery | radial first |
ABG provides useful info about | respiratory status and acid-base bal |
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) used to monitor | serum concentration of certain drugs |
TDM requires coordination | timing important |
trough vs. peak | lowest concentration of drug in patient's serum vs. highest |
genetic molecular test in ? tube | Lavender. |
cytogenetic test in ? tube | green: sodium heparin |
Genetic material is only viable for ? | 6-24 hours |
fistula | artificial shunt, vein + artery fused through surgery for dialysis, do not collect! strong "buzzing" pulse |
cannula | tubular instrument to access vein for dialysis |
autologous transfusion | blood donation before surgery>>given to themselves, safest blood is your own, eliminates the possibility of antibodies forming when transfused |
