DOGLOVER Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Does anyone have a procedure for therapeutic phlebotomy that they are willing to share. We are in the process of bringing this procedure in house for inpatients rather than having our blood center team do them. I have done them in another time and place (over 12 years ago) and do not have a procedure. The one in the technical manual is written for actual donors. It also does not specify how high the pressure cuff should be inflated to. Thanks to anyone who can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Saikin Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I use the same phlebotomy procedure for donors or TPs . . . usually the bp cuff is set around 40 mmHg after phlebotomy is initiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOGLOVER Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thank-you very much. By the way, I see you are in NH, beautiful state that I grew up in. Maybe I can come back and retire there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
