Push Pull technique for blood draw with CVAD

 

 

Do any of you utilize the PUSH PULL technique for obtaining blood specimens from central lines?

If so, do you have a specific policy on this?  Did the lab or any physicians have issues when you started?

Did your staff experience any issue with this technique wise or the devices themsel??

 

I am interested in trying this process out and am going to try to do a literature search but.....wanted

your input.

 

Thanks in advance,   Gina Ward R.N, VA-BC
