You can expect the experience the following during a blood test or blood draw:

• You will have to sit comfortably on the chair, and a healthcare provider will check your arms for an easily accessible vein. This is the inner part of your arm on the other side of your elbow.

• Once they have located a vein, they will clean and disinfect the area with an alcohol swab.

• Then they will insert a small needle into your vein to draw a blood sample. This might feel like a small pinch.

• After they have inserted the needle, the required amount of blood will be collected in a test tube.

• Once they have collected enough blood to test, they’ll remove the needle and hold a cotton ball or gauze on the site to stop any bleeding.

• They will put a band-aid over the pricked site, and the blood collection is finished.

• This process takes less than five minutes.
