KRIS Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Hello fellow Techs, I just want to know if Phlebotomist are allowed to perform Therapeutic Phlebotomy for a patient. If they are allowed, Do they need to be certified ? In my institution it is usually the tech who do the procedure. Appreciating all your responses. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkloc Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Here our phlebotomists perform the Therapeutic Phlebotomist. They are trained in performing it prior to them being allowed to perform the procedure. They also perform it in an area where a nurse is available in case anything happens they can come in an assist the patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C. Staley Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 If trained and documented there is no reason I know of saying phlebotomists can't perform therapeutic phlebotomies. At a previous facility there were all done by phlebotomists and the the techs were thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
