Abstract:

«Practical recommendations for venous blood sampling for laboratory tests» (PR) were developed by the Preanalytics Committee and approved on 02.04.2021 by the Presidium of the Association of Specialists and Organizations of the Laboratory Service «Federation of Laboratory Medicine» (FLM). These are the first recommendations in the Russian Federation regulating phlebotomy — the procedure for collecting blood from a vein for laboratory tests, with the introduction of uniform terms and concepts describing the standard procedure for taking biomaterial using vacuum containers. The document provides advice on how to overcome potential barriers and obstacles to the implementation of PR in practice. The PR were harmonized with the «Recommendations for Venous Blood Sampling» developed by the Working group on Preanalytics (WG-PRE) of the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) and the working group on Preanalytics of Latin America (WG-PRE-LATAM) of the Latin American Confederation of Clinical Biochemistry (COLABIOCLI), adopted in 2018. FLM took an active part in the development of these international recommendations on 2014-2018. They comply with GOST R ISO 15189-2015 and GOST R 59778-2021 «Procedures for taking venous and capillary blood samples for laboratory tests». The implementation of this document is aimed at introducing unified modern standards for venous blood collection for laboratory tests throughout the Russian Federation, in order to ensure the quality of laboratory diagnostics, the safety of medical personnel and the patient.

Keywords:
