Question
Answer
BLOOD COLLECTION INVOLVES:   • Serum/plasma/whole blood • Animal • Needle • Syringe • Vacutainer  
🗑
WHAT IS AN ANTICOAGULANT?   • Work by binding calcium (factor 4) • Chemical when added to blood will prevent or delay coagulation • Can come as liquid or powder form in tubes  
🗑
RED TOP BLOOD COLLECTION TUBE   NO ADDITIVE  
🗑
LAVENDER TOP BLOOD COLLECTION TUBE   Contains EDTA o Use for CBC o Good for staining o Cells will shrink (crenation) in here if too little blood (due to salt in EDTA)  
🗑
GREEN TOP BLOOD COLLECTION TUBE   heparin (sodium or lithium) o One of the most common tubes o Not routine in CBC = clumps WBC o Not used for staining o Birds, reptiles, fish = RBC have nucleolus so the cell will not lyse  
🗑
LIGHT BLUE TOP BLOOD COLLECTION TUBE   buffered sodium citrate (just delays the clotting) o Used for clotting study  
🗑
GRAY TOP BLOOD COLLECTION TUBE   contains anticoagulant and glycolytic inhibitor (prevents breakdown of glucose) o Sodium fluoride  
🗑
YELLOW TOP BLOOD COLLECTION TUBE   ACD: Acid Citrate Dextrose o ACD used all the time when doing blood transfusions  
🗑
BLOOD COLLECTION AMOUNT IS DETERMINED BY:   o Test o Tube size o Animal size & hydration status – will effect the volume of blood you can attain  
🗑
MAXIMUM BLOOD COLLECTION SHOULD NOT EXCEED:   25% of Body Weight o Birds – only 1% of BW  
🗑
PCV IS:   PACK CELL VOLUME: 50% of your blood is cells (RBC)  
🗑
EQUINE BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   o Jugular vein o Facial vein  
🗑
BOVINE BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   o Jugular vein o Coccygeal vein o Mammary – has a higher natural level of calcium – LAST RESORT  
🗑
OVINE BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   o Jugular o Cephalic o Saphenous  
🗑
CAPRINE BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   o Jugular o Cephalic o Saphenous  
🗑
PORCINE BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   o Ear o Thoracic Inlet – anterior vena cava  
🗑
CANINE BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   o Jugular o Cephalic o Lateral Saphenous  
🗑
FELINE BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   o Jugular o Cephalic o Medial Saphenous  
🗑
BIRD BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   right jugular vein (left is smaller), medial metatarsal vein, wing vein (cutaneous ulnar vein)  
🗑
FERRET BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   cranial vena cava, ventral tail vein  
🗑
RABBIT BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   lateral saphenous, lateral ear vein (not preferred due to hematoma forming), cephalic vein, not jugular because of dewlap  
🗑
SMALL ANIMAL BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   JUGULAR  
🗑
RODENT BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   lateral saphenous, venous sinus (behind eye), tail vein, submandibular, direct cardiac puncture  
🗑
EXOTICS BLOOD COLLECTION SITES   o Lizards: ventral to tail vein o Tortoise/Turtle: venous sinus o Snakes: direct cardiac puncture  
🗑
NEEDLES   • Length ½” to 2” • Size range: 14g to 30g (smaller #, bigger the needle) • Don’t use smaller than 25g needle – this will cause hemolysis (lyse blood cells)  
🗑
NEEDLE SIZES   o 18g – green monoject – pink B-D o 20g – pink monoject – yellow B-D o 21g – lavender monoject – green B-D o 22g – blue monoject – black B-D o 23g – orange monoject – teal B-D o 25g – red monoject – blue B-D  
🗑
SYRINGE SIZES   o 1cc, 3cc, 6cc, 12cc, 35cc, 60cc  
🗑
SYRINGE TIPS   o Luer (needle slips on), luer lock (needle screws on), catheter (shaped like a cone), curved (can feed animals with this, flush wounds) o Location of the tip can be: Central vs. eccentric  
🗑
VACUTAINER SYSTEM   • Three parts: o Double ended needle o Plastic sleeve o Vacuum tube  
🗑
BLOOD DRAW TECHNIQUE   • Choose tube, needle, syringe • Label tube(s) • Proper restraint • Locate vein • Insert needle bevel up • Draw back on plunger • Place blood in tube gently – remove top of tube and needle and drip the blood into the tube – this prevents lysis  
🗑
