What Are the Challenges in Neonatal Sample Collection?
Sample collection in neonates poses unique challenges:
Small Blood Volume: Neonates have limited blood volume, making it crucial to collect the minimum amount necessary for testing. Fragile Veins: The veins of neonates are delicate, requiring skilled personnel to avoid causing harm. Patient Cooperation: Neonates cannot cooperate, necessitating the use of techniques to minimize movement and discomfort.
