60 seconds

To ensure that all bacteria are removed from the puncture site for blood cultures, the site should be cleansed using friction for a minimum of 60 seconds.

<h3>Where exactly is the puncture site?</h3>
  • The proper location must be cleansed and punctured with a lancet so that a drop of blood can be softly expressed before blood can be collected using a capillary tube.

<h3>But what constitutes a suitable location? </h3>
  • Finger: In both adults and children, the third or fourth finger is typically favored location as a puncture site

<h3>Where on the body does a skin puncture most frequently occur?</h3>
  • The most frequently used site is the distal end of the third or fourth finger.
  • Because the bone is so close to the skin surface, there is a higher risk of puncturing the bone at the very tip of the finger.
