Phlebotomy is a procedure of puncturing any vein to draw out some blood or to introduce any fluid. This is an art of taking out blood for the further tests. Phlebotomists are the people that identify the patient, interpret the tests, and draws out the blood with the correct method.
Phases of laboratory testing are as follows:
1. Pre analytical phase- It is the first phase, which includes actual laboratory process. It occurs during patient assessment that includes specimen handling.
2. Analytical phase- This phase includes the diagnostic procedures or a product that gives result at the end.
3. Post analytic phase- Final phase of laboratory, process that culminates the product of final values.
The most important phase of testing is the first phase that can have important errors during specimen handling and identification. Thus, it must have rigorous control to avoid further errors.
