Indications for venous bloodletting include true erythrocytosis,

Polycythemia vera,

Sterile blood storage bottle, rubber tube (with 16 gauge needle at both ends), sphygmomanometer, cleaning plate, 3.8%

1. The patient was supine with the arms stretched out flat and the upper arm tied with a sphygmomanometer balloon (or a tourniquet). Choose a venipuncture point, disinfect the skin routinely, and cover a sterile hole towel.

2. Inject 3.8% sodium citrate into a sterile blood storage bottle, insert one end of a bleeding tube, and insert an exhaust tube. Invert the blood storage bottle to allow the anticoagulant to flow out a little through the tube. Inflate the sphygmomanometer balloon to maintain the pressure at 10.6-12kPa (80-90mmHg), or use a tourniquet. The needle at the other end of the bleeding tube is inserted into the vein, and the blood flows into the blood storage bottle. The amount of blood bleeding depends on the medical needs. Generally, the amount of blood bleeding is 200 to 500 ml each time, and the amount of blood bleeding in small doses is 50 to 100 ml each time.

3 After bleeding, release the sphygmomanometer balloon or tourniquet, remove the needle, and compress it with a sterile cotton ball for a moment.

Such as the use of disposable blood collection bags, disposable negative pressure drainage bottles and other methods, the operation is simpler and safer.
