The Order of Draw: Why You MUST Follow It.

Some phlebotomists know the order of draw for blood collection tubes and follow it religiously. Others think the order is irrelevant. Some healthcare professionals who draw blood samples have never heard of the order of draw while still more know there's an order, but don't follow it. Which group are you in?
It's no myth that laboratory results can be affected when blood collection tubes are filled in the wrong order. Test results can be wildly erratic and lead physicians to make medical mistakes. This video explains the order of draw and why it's important.
