Phlebotomy Vein Finder - Approach to anxious blood taking - Dr Gill

One of the commonest medical procedures that even healthy people will undertake is that of phlebotomy. For the majority of people, it is an annoyance, but is certainly not a significantly negative experience. However, for some people whether or not that is a problem with finding the vein, hospital phobias, or general anxiety relating to a previous medical experience, phlebotomy can be a significant challenge.

One way to attempt to alleviate some of that anxiety is by using a vein Finder, so the patients are able to visualise the target at the same time as the practitioner.
