Three popular methods of blood collection or sampling are:
Arterial Sampling
Venipuncture Sampling
Fingerstick Sampling/Capillary collection
Fingerstick is another common method used to collect blood samples. It involves pricking the patient's finger with a small needle or lancet to obtain a drop of blood. The blood is then collected into a capillary tube or onto a test strip for analysis.
Fingerstick is a simple and convenient method that can be performed by trained healthcare professionals or even by patients themselves in some cases. It is commonly used to monitor blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.
