Toma de muestra de sangre en Bovinos

Summary

This video explains the process of blood sample collection from bovines for diagnostic purposes. It highlights the importance of proper preparation, such as correct attire and equipment. The script covers two techniques for drawing blood: one involving lifting the animal's tail and using a needle in the intercostal space, and another utilizing the jugular vein. After the blood is collected, the samples are identified, stored in a refrigerated container, and prepared for laboratory analysis. The video emphasizes that a correct sample collection is crucial for an accurate diagnosis, setting the foundation for further procedures.

Takeaways

• 😀 Bovine animals are susceptible to various diseases, and blood sample collection is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
• 😀 Proper attire and necessary supplies are essential for the operator performing the blood collection.
• 😀 The process begins by securing the animal and attaching the needle to the needle holder and the tube to the holder.
• 😀 Two different techniques are used for blood collection: one involves raising the tail vertically and disinfecting the puncture site.
• 😀 The first technique involves palpating the vein and making the puncture in front of the bony protrusion between the sixth and seventh intercostal spaces.
• 😀 Once the needle penetrates the skin, the tube is pressed to allow blood to enter, filling the tube to three-quarters of its capacity.
• 😀 In the second technique, the groove is palpated, pressure is applied above the finger, and blood is drawn.
• 😀 After blood collection, the needle is removed, and pressure is applied with the thumb while disinfecting the puncture area.
• 😀 The animal's head is secured for the application of an identification tag (caravana), and data is recorded.
• 😀 Blood samples are placed in labeled tubes and arranged at a 45-degree angle in a gravel-filled container for proper storage.
• 😀 The blood samples are left to settle for one hour before being transported in thermal boxes with refrigerants and sealed lids to maintain sample integrity.
• 😀 Proper sample collection is crucial for the subsequent processes leading to an accurate and reliable diagnosis.
