Case

  • A phlebotomist was collecting STAT blood work on a patient when blood flow unexpectedly stopped. The light blue top tube being drawn at the time was only about one third full – less than the minimum volume required for this particular tube. A red top tube had already been drawn for a cross match, and a PT was the only other test ordered.
