Heelsticks in neonates for capillary blood sampling.

R M Meehan1.   

Abstract

Capillary blood sampling via a heelstick is a common procedure performed on hospitalized neonates. If not performed properly, a heelstick can lead to complications. The clinical and financial impact of complications and redrawing of blood can be significant. Lancets/lancing devices are reviewed and proper procedure is discussed.
