mmm... blood letting (which phlebotomy links to) is a very different thing. i'll leave it for now. Tristanb 10:03 27 May 2003 (UTC)
Do we really need complete instructions for venipuncture using vacutainers here? I think a more global overview would be more appropriate, especially as the precise procedure varies from place to place. -- WS 23:49, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
Phlebotomy (modern) is a clunky title. In the meantime, I've made phlebotomy into a disambiguation page. -- Christopherlin 16:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Definitely merge Phlebotomy (modern) into Venipuncture ASAP. I don't understand the move to Phlebotomy (modern) anyway.
Really, phlebotomy and venipuncture are not the same thing. Venipuncture is part of phlebotomy but can be used for other things (IVF, feeds).

And so is just about everybody else who went to school, and recieved a certification. Phlebotomists are *not* certified to start IVs, feeds, or give shots, although just like anything else in this level of the medical field, we can be cross-trained...and not every medical setting requires certification in *any* of these fields. Indeed, most MA's and LPN's I know have never drawn blood.Phlebotomists are more likely to perform lab tests, EKG, and drug screens than to start or push IVs. Just because you don't agree with the title doesn't give you the right to say it is wrong. So says me - JGeiger54, CPT. JGeiger54 21:10, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

What new more advanced devices or alternative devices are there for drawing blood?... for
a. people experiencing pain from the phlebotomists' usual equipment?...
b. frail elderly?... —Preceding

My blood was few times collected using different procedure not described here, using only needle and test-tube: Nurse first ties rubber band around biceps, takes just a needle (without syringe), drives it into the vein and simply catches free-dripping blood. Of course, blood has contact with air all the time, so it's done only with direct access to a lab. Prolly it's oldest and most lo-tech method of all described, but also looks most cool and scarry :) (vein is in constant overpressure, so there is no risk of collapse, too) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.99.1.240 ( talk) 17:23, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
It includes the entire subject of intravenous access. I fixed the 1st paragraph. The rest of the article needs IV added—Preceding unsigned comment added by Fireftr ( talk • contribs) 17:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
This whole article is reading like an advert for Vacutainer. I know it's acommon system but we need to be a bit more neutral I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arfgab ( talk • contribs) 10:10, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
i must say, that is the worst blood collection job i have seen.... the pool of blood at the insertion point is just BAD form. someone should put a better picture up, maybe ill talk one of the patients from work into letting me take one... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.155.109 ( talk) 22:53, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
In the second paragraph, is the so-called posterior end of the cannula more properly the distal end? Aboctok ( talk) 05:38, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Moved from front page as you will find clinicins using needle and syringe for all the idications below without a problem. Arfgab ( talk) 14:06, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Please help scientifical distinguish terms (1) Blood Sample Collection, (2)blood test, (3) Venipuncture (4) phlebotomy etc.
Does phlebotomy mean bloodletting??? That is often an unsientific practise which do Quack doctor exorcist etc. How same thing term can be used science based govt blood collectors??? enough confusing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:204:409A:A50F:0:0:378:70AC ( talk) 02:14, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Because phlebotomy mean blodletting!!! plain and simple. Just like vassectomy, lobotomy etc "removal" of thing!!!.
Please protest against quack-doctors exorcists etc who do bad pracices such as bloodletting etc. These are all false and harmfull. Donnt go to any quack doctor and dont go to any amature private experimentalist doctor and dont go to any exorcist and dont go to any commercial advertising doctor. Dont believe magic cure, these are all cheating.
Please do only science based modern treatment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.15.186.91 ( talk) 02:33, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Govt should not use obsolid terminology word jugglery. Please DONT CONFUSE the patient party. — Preceding

Deleted a duplicate copy generated during an edit conflict. May be someone else was typing at the same time??? What was they typing??
In modern india it is very illegal to reuse a syringe. After taking blood sample/giving injection, both the syringe and needle to be destroyed in an incinerator. Same syringe must NOT be used for more than 1 person. Throwing a syringe in random place is also strictly inhibited. If someone do not follow this regulation strictly, that is illegal, offensive, unethical and harmful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4060:200E:8708:0:0:1660:28A5 ( talk) 03:13, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
I see only the median cubital vein is listed for a possible venipuncture site, would add cephalic, antebrachial, basilic [1]
Looking to possibly add a section about transillumination devices/ultrasound assisted phlebotomy [2]

I was a bit alarmed to see that the collective authors didn't mention doctors in the list of healthcare professionals who carry out venipuncture. I appreciate that many doctors have the luxury of not having to take blood, but some don't! I am a doctor in the UK and I carry out venipuncture every day of my working life.
