Another way to remember your order of tubes is: 1. You= yellow 2. Bring= Light Blue 3. Really= Red-SST 4. Good= Green 5. Lollipops= Lavender 6. Girl= Gray I read the comments and understand I have missed some tubes, this is just a standard order of draw. Depending on the doctors office you will only use a SST and Lavender maybe a red, unless a doctor wants to check the patients INR which would be a light blue. That is based on my experience. Once you know the standard order of draw every other tube and blood culture will fall into place as well. Also this comment was from two years ago, in the state of TN they have changed some of our SSTs to gold. Good luck everyone and happy sticking :)

Thank you, this information is correct. So, patient identification and order of draw is most important because you can't draw Blood Collection tubes after a INR. or PTT. You would not believe how many people get so use to working in phlebotomy who draw the wrong tubes in sequence and when you tell them "hey, you are not following Order of draw" they get mad at the new kid on the block who follows hospital policies and procedures. So, CLSI is the method I use like you mentioned in your video and we use BD tubes and not so much the marbled tubes. So, we use lt. blu, red, gold, green, lavendar (EDTA) and gray. We only will use the other tubes for special test of trace elements with is navy blue topper tube. I call the tubes I use for the butterfly needles dummy tubes. There is a heck of a lot of information we have to know and the money better not be too much of a factor because here in Chicago, IL. I could make more at Mcdonald's!

@Acasam985 жыл бұрын
There appear to be some errors in your video. The polymer "gel" is NOT responsible for accelerating clotting. It actually just serves as a barrier device ("separator") between the serum and the cells upon centrifugation; this barrier effect inhibits glycolysis. The additive which assists in clotting is a silica spray - it is not an accelerator, but an activator of clotting (such that it helps the blood form a complete clot). A clot accelerator would be thrombin (orange top tube = RST). Further, the PST tubes do not contain fibrinogen. If this were the case, the PST tube would clot and you wouldn't yield plasma. A PST tube is simply a tube with polymer gel and an anticoagulant (usually heparin). If you are referring to the fact that PLASMA contains fibrinogen and SERUM does not, then I think you may want to be more clear on that. Also, I am not sure why you mention royal blue coming after the ACD tube. Royal blue tubes - at least the ones that I have worked with - either contain EDTA or Silica spray. Where the royal blue fits into order of draw would depend on which tube you have - EDTA or silica.
@PhlebotomySolutions5 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your comment. Here is my response. 1. Compared to SST, RST is considered an accelerator or faster (2.49 min vs. 19.47 min, respectively; P < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the RST and SST II tubes for glucose, calcium, and LD (P < 0.001). Differences for glucose and LD were also clinically significant. Analyte stability studies showed that all analytes were stable for 24 h at 4 °C. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4210257/ SST is a clot activator and substance that enhances coagulation and clots within 15 to 30 minutes as compared to other test tubes. It can be considered an accelerator. 2. There is only one kind of PST tube. It has a mint green stopper. This tube is only used on patients who are in the hospital. This tube contains lithium heparin to keep the blood from clotting and has a gel plasma separator. This tube is used to obtain whole blood, plasma. To ensure that the blood does not clot, the tube must be inverted eight times following blood collection. This tube is used for therapeutic drug monitoring and general chemistries. Because the PST™ tube contains lithium, it cannot be used to test a patient’s lithium level. (Phlebotomy Training Group) 3. I was referring to the fact that PLASMA contains fibrinogen and SERUM does not. I made that distinction in the video. 4. Royal blue is followed in the order of draw set by CLSI Standards.

The only reason red would go before light blue is if you were drawing with a butterfly needle. There is air in the butterfly tubing that needs to be filled before using the light blue. With the syringe that is not the case when you transfer the blood. The order of draw remains the same.

Karina Venegas The order of draw does not change based on CLSI standards. The order is based on the additives and not really the tube colors. The Gold or culture tubes or bottles are always first.

Hello, thank you for the question. If you are in a hospital setting then you will be using a green top tube for all chemistry tests which includes a BMP and CMP. For transporting blood to a lab like Labcorp does then they will use a SST tube to collect the blood and process it for transporting. I know this because I was a Labcorp supervisor for 2 years. You may use a red top non-additive tube but the blood will be transferred to another tube with Heparin for testing. For the test you will need to know the standard order of draw that is listed in this video and set by CLSI. I hope this helps you. Thank you.

According to CLSI and most up-to-date phlebotomy texts, the royal blue containing EDTA is drawn along with the other tubes containing EDTA - these are before the grey top tubes (which usually contain KOxalate and NaFl). You may have a royal blue that contains silica spray - if this is the case, the label on the tube will say "serum" and this tube should be drawn along with the other serum tubes. Also, above, you state that the red top tube contains "no additive." This is misleading. Most red top tubes contain a silica spray (like most other tubes that yield serum). You can, of course, order a red top with no additive whatsoever and the label in this case will say "NO ADDITIVE." If you did have a true "no additive" tube, you can draw this before the light blue. But, as I said, most red tops will contain a silica spray and should NOT be drawn before the light blue.

Khalaf Majed Every tube color is based on the additive and test that will be run. If you look up the additive online you will see the tests that will be performed based on the additives. The color usually tells you the department that the test will be performed.

Phlebotomy Solutions thanks for your , but is the royal blue tube with K2-EDTA can do the tests for the additive in lavender tube?
@PhlebotomySolutions4 жыл бұрын
Khalaf Majed Again, each Royal blue tube can contain different of the same additive. They Contain either sodium heparin or sodium EDTA anticoagulants, or no anticoagulant. And Are used for trace element, toxicology, and nutritional studies. You need to consult lab on tests. Royal Blue acid washed tubes are available in No Additive clot tubes for serum collection as well as EDTA and Sodium Heparin additives for plasma collections. Please take care to inspect the tube label to identify the additive type. Royal Blue topped tubes are special acid washed tubes for the collection of trace elements or heavy metals and cellular immunology studies.

@PhlebotomySolutions6 жыл бұрын
Kristi Hess Yes, develop strong power point learning lectures like the ones I have on video. My DVDs are power point based and created. Develop lesson plans that include group studies in class with phlebotomy related case studies. Use the book "Phlebotomy Essentials" 6th edition if you can, by Ruth McCall. I do offer an instructors package that includes everything on a flash drive too. I can send you an invoice for the price through PayPal if you like.

Which antiseptic is recommended for blood-alcohol testing? I keep getting conflicting info and I trust you.
@PhlebotomySolutions5 жыл бұрын
The hospitals and labs should only be cleaning the site with soap and water. NO antiseptic should be used. All of them contain some kind of chemical or alcohol that can contaminate the test. This is also recommended by CLSI.

Thank you for your question. Anything like platelet tests or aggregation test are done with a light blue tube, sodium citrate additive. It’s part of whole blood tests and it’s used to confirm platelet dysfunction and defect. I hope this helps.

I am being taught that the BMP and CMP tests are done in the Gold/Tiger top tube. You mentioned that it is done on the Dark Green Tube. I am also being taught that Electrolytes and HCG are done in Light Green Tubes and Ammonia test are done on Dark Green tubes. Are these recent changes?
@PhlebotomySolutions5 жыл бұрын
DW Ethiopia Hello, your question is based on what phlebotomy job you have and where. You can run a BMP and CMP on either a SST tube or in a Green Lithium Heparin tube for faster test results. The lab machines being used also determine which tube to use too. For Ammonia you will use lithium Heparin Green tube and put immediately in ice. All chemistry test can be done in a Gold/tiger top tube or a Green lithium Heparin tube. Make sure the Green tube is NOT light Green sodium Heparin. Every hospital and lab uses either tube for chemistry tests based on their machine running the tests. Hope this helps.

@@PhlebotomySolutions I don't have a job in Phlebotomy yet. This is information I am learning at a Phlebotomy school. What I am being taught in my class contradicts what you are saying in your video. For ammonia, I am taught that it is done in a Dark Green tube, which has the sodium heparin additive. I am taught that lithium heparin is in the light green/mint tube. This is the opposite of what you are saying.

DW Ethiopia Sorry, I need to mention that tubes can change based on color top tubes. The additives is what matters more than what the top color is on the tube. Dark green would be sodium Heparin and light green is lithium Heparin. Always go by what is labeled in the tube for testing. Every lab and hospital can change based on what machine they use for processing the tubes.

DW Ethiopia Ammonia is collected in light Green lithium additive tube. But certain hospitals can collect the blood in a different tube and processes it with the correct testing device used. Labs can collect ammonia test in a lavender tube and then frozen for send out too. That is what Labcorp does. Always check with your hospital or lab for their processing procedures.
