Final answer:
Performing a ventipuncture with 'no stasis' means avoiding the use of a tourniquet or using it as briefly as possible when drawing blood to prevent venous stasis which can affect test result accuracy.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have a written order to perform a ventipuncture with "no stasis", it means that you should avoid applying a tourniquet or only apply it very briefly to prevent venous stasis during the blood draw. Venous stasis is the slowing or cessation of normal blood flow that can occur when a tourniquet is left on a patient's arm for an extended period. This can affect the results of certain blood tests by altering the concentration of analytes or cells due to hemolysis, hemoconcentration, or platelet clumping. To perform a ventipuncture with no stasis, quickly locate a vein, and after cleansing the area, insert the needle to draw the blood. The tourniquet should be released as soon as blood flow is established or used minimally to prevent alteration in test results.
