Wow so much goes into blood work. Thank you for sharing!

[@jotusmas4038]

This is just the tip of the iceberg

[@BasketofBastet]

Thanks this is so interesting! I've had my blood taken all the time my whole life and I never knew exactly what happened

[@MsSistren]

They're taking too much. That's why they don't show exactly how much of it is tested. Doesn't take an entire tube.

[@Tor-Erik]

This is so facinating! Now I know why it takes about a few days or weeks to receive back results. Every details in the blood samples counts.

[@shankysays]

I came to know how blood test work but now I'm more interested in how that tube system works

[@kneD-e]

Vaccum bruh

[@PacoOtis]

Wow! Thanks for the video! To a lay person, like me, this is rather overwhelming! Please carry on!

[@darryls2141]

wasn't overwhelming at all. was very clear and thorough.

[@jotusmas4038]

This is just the tip of the iceberg. They didn't cover too much on testing side of it, but it's a great introduction to Medical labs

[@MsSistren]

There's a lot of other steps missing. How do patients know how much of the blood is actually being used?

[@lgstar3363]

Exactly and she never explains what is done with remaining blood if any. Is it discarded??

[@rattateo]

@@lgstar3363 I'm a MLS in a hospital lab. We store the remaining sample for 3, 7, or 30 days depending on the tube type. Other hospitals may use slightly different policies on storage times, but we all store at minimum according to regulatory/accrediting body requirements. That time allows for us to perform additional testing in case the doctor orders more tests after the initial tests are run. After that the tubes are discarded in biohazard waste which is ultimately incinerated.

[@oldschoolfoil2365]

OK that's part one of a blood sample where's part two? the technologist? and it's disposal? or does it just sit around collecting dust at the technologist lab for eternity?

[@dragosanie5055]

Right? We're asking "hey how is the blood work tested? " and they replied with "yes, someone receives it then sends it somewhere"

[@MaximilianonMars]

You missed the step where the sample goblin drinks half the blood vial and you get a message back that the volume was insufficient.

[@trxtech3010]

LMAO

[@quietstorm1050]

😂😂😂

[@nashialittle6274]

Still doesn’t make sense why do they need 3-4 tubes

[@abdullahal-shimri3091]

More tests are run on more tubes. For example, PTINR can only be run in blue tubes and CBC only on lavender tubes.

[@MrSmoothis]

This is a great video, I would love to know how the tester actually works. I can understand why Thernos was trying to make it smaller lol

[@destinyflores4828]

A blood draw can be a little bit scary but it’s OK to learn about your health and know about it be brave and wait for work blood results

[@Roda45Crossfit]

What do you do with the blood after the testing is done?

[@sierraorr8213]

Get rid of it or they can legally use it for testing if they want… technically it’s not considered yours once it leaves your body.

[@papaya-x3y]

​@@sierraorr8213who would want the blood sample back anyways🤣

[@bill_lumbergh]

donate it to third world like old T-shirts

[@rattateo]

@@sierraorr8213 We store it in case the doctor decides they want to add on more tests to the specimen. Depending on the tube type, they are stable for x days after which they are tossed in biohazard waste to be incinerated.

[@jotusmas4038]

Furthering on the subject, medical labs will keep blood for a certain about of time. Each lab is different, but there are stability timeframes per test ordered. Yes, the labs can run different tests, but the billing for those tests have to be medically relevant.

[@vikiokweel214]

Wow! So much work😍 what a great vid!!

[@abdullahhussain9589]

How did you do that scientifics

[@pokeyjourneys3984]

What about place where they melt it to the labs how do they package it you package it so it doesn't go bad depend depending how how the weather is in those areas

[@melon2565]

I hate having blood work done on me. Or anyone around me. Why couldn't we just get a shot on our shoulder and get a little blood taken out at a time?

[@Mike-xx3xo]

ita not thT Bd dude

[@hajratalib2125]

Ikr!! For me its not about the pain its more about the fact that its taken out from such a sensitive place😖 it makes me cringe

[@phokdis]

Lab Technicians/technologists once performed these tests instead of machines. More blood was needed when individuals went to school to perform the test, I don't know why so much is still collected. Yes, some samples have substances added for different test but...

[@mahamqueen4068]

Hy madam is there available facilities for thalassemia patient

[@cafedelmario]

How much is the machine that does the results?

[@NicholeMars]

Why is the blood archived ?

[@jotusmas4038]

Many reasons, in case they need to run additional tests and save the patient another poke. Also, for auditing purposes, and inspections.

[@KidaleSmith]

cool n all but i want to see what's happening during the "appropriate testing"

[@jotusmas4038]

Nowadays, a lot of the testing is done on automatic instruments, especially in larger labs. The techs and scientists will review results and verify them or go further in testing. For the appropriate testing, there are many different institutions that survey labs and hospitals to make sure the labs and hospitals are doing appropriate testing. One of the bigger institutions is the College of American Pathologists (CAP). Which will routinely send labs survey testing along with every two years an inspection.

[@marcelbregman4454]

do they clean the tube thats used to transport the samples.

[@fucuuy1406]

Yes they clean each tube. Normally with bleach wipes or super sanitary cloths.

[@Blackfox_o7]

You push a button and.... what do the machines do?

[@jotusmas4038]

Everything that the machines can do. There are different machines for different testing. Along with different blood tubes for different tests. Then the medical lab techs and scientists will review the tests results before verifying and sending the results to doctors and nurses.

[@MohamedAkhter9779]

Hi dear please to inform Gp how blood test take

[@harshiniii6096]

Is it possible that they mix up different tests of different people? Or interchange them by error?

[@farmerjoe8508]

They have barcodes so its extremely unlikely

[@harshiniii6096]

@@farmerjoe8508 ooh makes sense! Thank you

[@rattateo]

If tubes are mixed up, it is most likely a result of what we call pre-analytical error (an error whose root cause occurred before actual testing). Particularly clerical error (mislabeled specimen) or the person drawing the blood failed to positively identify the patient at the time of collection.

[@akismynickname515]

Well what if the person doesn't want you given their DNA away by law if they don't ok this then I think it should be a crime.
