Phlebotomy Essentials, Enhanced Seventh Edition provides accurate, up-to-date, and practical information and instruction in phlebotomy procedures and techniques, along with a comprehensive background in phlebotomy theory and principles.
Phlebotomy Essentials remains one of the most comprehensive texts I’ve used for teaching safe and effective blood collection techniques. It’s clear, well-structured, and essential for both students and trainers.
I recently published a practical companion blog post that walks through the step-by-step process of drawing blood, especially useful for learners who want to visualize and practice techniques at home. It complements this book perfectly.
Required textbook for a regionally accredited college phlebotomy course. Excellent visuals and straightforward guidance. One particularly useful feature, it has picture lists of common phlebotomy tubes and other necessary materials by manufacturer.
I read the entire book before my phlebotomy class and reread the assigned sections during class. It was an easy read - helpful and informative and I will be going through parts of it again in preparation for the national exam.
