Procedure Overview
Step 1: Consultation
When you arrive, a nurse will ask about your health history and double-check the tests your doctor ordered. This helps make sure everything's set before your blood draw.
Step 2: Preparation
The nurse will clean the area on your arm where the blood will be taken. A tourniquet is placed to make your veins easier to access.
Step 3: Lab Draw
The nurse will collect your blood using a clean needle and special tubes. It usually only takes a few minutes.
Step 4: Post-Procedure
Once the blood draw is completed, a cotton ball or bandage will be applied to stop bleeding. You’ll be able to resume your normal activities immediately, though it’s a good idea to take a few minutes to rest.
Step 5: Results
Your blood samples arrive at a lab for testing, and the results are analyzed and returned in 2-14 days. You'll be contacted with the results, and have the option to book a consultation with our Nurse Practitioner to review your lab panel.
