Giải thích
Presyncope during a draw requires stopping immediately, removing the needle with pressure over the site, and positioning the patient with the head lowered or lying flat to restore cerebral blood flow while someone stays with them. Continuing the draw or leaving a needle in an unsteady patient risks nerve injury and a fall. Standing and walking a lightheaded patient greatly increases the chance of collapse.
