WHAT DOES VENEPUNCTURE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

venepuncture

Venipuncture

In medicine, venipuncture, venopuncture or venepuncture is the process of obtaining intravenous access for the purpose of intravenous therapy or for blood sampling of venous blood. This procedure is performed by medical laboratory scientists, medical practitioners, some EMTs, paramedics, phlebotomists, dialysis technicians, and other nursing staff. In veterinary medicine, the procedure is performed by veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Venipuncture is one of the most routinely performed invasive procedures and is carried out for any of five reasons: to obtain blood for diagnostic purposes; to monitor levels of blood components; to administer therapeutic treatments including medications, nutrition, or chemotherapy; to remove blood due to excess levels of iron or erythrocytes; or to collect blood for later uses, mainly tranfusion either in the donor or in another person. Blood analysis is one of the most important diagnostic tools available to clinicians within healthcare.
