In this day and age any routine diagnostic test requires a blood sample. This has made facilities like our laboratory in Mayur Vihar, institutions of paramount importance. Although our laboratories are led by experts and the conduction of these blood testing processes is done by highly trained professionals, there always seems to be two major causes of patient anxiety:

1) The factor of physical pain, having to endure the prick of a needle stick.

2) The emotional factor, observing the process of blood withdrawal.

Often, the physical condition of the veins of the patients makes it hard for lab apprentices to draw blood. Either the veins are aching from IV therapy or damaged from recurrent venipunctures. We at Tomar Foundation Pathology Lab however, make sure that the process is conducted with utmost care and precision.

How Our Experts Carry out the Process

While conducting the procedure of venipuncture, our expert phlebotomists insert a needle through the skin into a vein of the patient. Only employing professionals with utmost experience, our laboratory in East Delhi is renowned for using the safest methods of conducting the process.
The next step is drawing out the exact amount of blood that is needed for the test to take place. The blood is withdrawn through needles into a special tube, both of which are sterilized and approved beforehand by the experts from our laboratory in Delhi. We at Tomar Foundation Pathology Lab ensure that utmost care is taken while using these devices, and maintaining their cleanliness is our primal priority.
The tubes are then sent to our laboratory in Mayur Vihar, where the sample blood is examined according to the requirements of the healthcare practitioner.
Quite often, our phlebotomist is clever enough to recognize a vein in the crook of a patient’s elbow, a vein with easy access. Our expert then puts a tourniquet directly above the located site in order to make the vein more apparent.
With professional training at our laboratory in Delhi, our phlebotomists don’t take more than 3 minutes to complete this procedure. We aim to make this process fast because we understand the agony our patients may feel during this process.
After completing the process, we ask our patients to apply mild pressure over a fresh dressing to assist the blood clot and avert swelling or a hematoma, more commonly perceived as a bruise.

Here are some of the main problems our experts working in our laboratory in East Delhi have discussed about when it comes to dealing with patients during such a process:

• Patient constantly complaining about pain.
• Patient suffering from dry skin.
• Patients feeling sick right before the procedure, complaining about the possibility of him or her fainting.
• The blood not flowing well

However, serving patients for 15 years, we have always overcome these problems, bringing a smile to every face. In fact, the foundation of Tomar Foundation Pathology
