Question

How long does it take to get blood drawn from the point the needle is first inserted until it's pulled out?

Answer 1

It depends on the person and there clotting factor. No two people bleed at the same rate so time will vary.

Answer 2

From the time the needle is inserted to the point at which it is taken out for a blood draw is no more than 2minutes. For a standard set of 6 tubes of blood and even blood cultures, which require significantly more blood it should not take very long. Of course things can go wrong, such as the vein in infiltrated, the needle is up against a valve, or the blood simply won't flow, and this will delay the process while you get poked again.

Answer 3

as long as you are really still and dont move your blood draw should only take about 5 seconds or so. but if you wiggle then the needle moves shifting the blood flow and the blood draw will take longer . no more than a minute at most. in worst case situations. good luck

Answer 4

It depends...I gave blood today and it took about 15 minutes for a pint. Just for the small amount your doctor would take to run tests...probably 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on how much they needed to draw.

Answer 5

It depends on if they hit or miss on the first stick, how much blood is needed, and how the blood flows once running into the tube. Usually less than one minute, though.

Answer 6

No matter how much blood is being drawn or for what purpose it should never take longer than a second or two.

Answer 7

if at a blood bank, and your donating blood, about 20 mins. if it is at a doc office, depends on how many vials they take, can take from 30 sec (approx 1vial) to 2 mins (5-6 vials)

Answer 8

It depends on how much they are drawing out.

Answer 9

Less than a minute if they know what they are doing.

Answer 10
