Blood can be collected from rats in a number of sampling locations. For instance, the tail vein is a superior location for blood sampling. However, the tail vein is thin so that it is sometimes hard to puncture. In addition, the tail vein has low blood flow and requires a long sampling time to get sufficient blood. The present report describes a simple blood sampling method, the vacuum blood co...

Background: A Premature infants undergo multiple painful procedures during treatment; thus, it must be tried to limit complications caused by diagnostic and treatment procedures using simple and practical methods. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of spike lavender lakhlakhe on pain intensity due to phlebotomy in hospitalized premature infants.Methods: This single-arm, randomized ...

Blood is collected from experimental animals for a wide range of scientific purposes including; hematology, clinical biochemistry parameters, immunology, studies in bacteriology, parasitology and investigations in reproductive performance and health. The number of methods employed to collect blood from fish include; the puncture of caudal vein, dorsal aorta or cardiac vessels and the severance ...

Abstract Blood sampling typically involves puncturing a superficial vein with needle and then creating vacuum (e. g., syringe) to transfer the blood from venous system collection container. In some cases, walls collapse due excessive generated. this work, device is presented that prevents can be combined any available on market. The mechanism of preventing based tubular segment interconnected b...

The post-occipital sinus of the spinal vein is often used for the collection of blood samples from crocodilians. Although this sampling method has been reported for several crocodilian species, the technique and associated anatomy has not been described in detail in any crocodilian, including the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus). The anatomy of the cranial neck region was investigated macr...

We compared the behaviours of rats, and measured various blood parameters, after three blood sampling techniques: orbital puncture while they were under diethyl-ether anaesthesia, blood collection by tail vein puncture under O2-N2O-halothane anaesthesia and puncture of the saphenous vein without anaesthesia. Twelve rats were subjected to the three treatments according to a Latin square design. ...
