Tips on my blood smearing
Hello!
I’m taking a phlebotomy course at the moment. We are currently working on blood smears and as you can see in the photo provided, im struggling to get a long feathered edge. My instructor can’t figure out what im doing wrong.
I make sure I apply even pressure, swipe quickly, and ensure that the blood spreads to the edges of the glass being used to smear.
I would really appreciate some advice and tips on how to improve my smears. Thanks!
