Optimising blood culture collection 10 July 2024

The Clinical Excellence Commission has produced a short video for all staff who take blood cultures for clinical diagnoses. It has been developed in response to the current blood culture bottle shortage, as best practice blood culture collection will improve how blood cultures are used and potentially prevent some wastage. Best blood culture collection practices will also directly benefit patients. The key topics covered are: • ensuring fill volume is correct • using the aerobic bottle first • making sure aseptic technique is used for the whole procedure. The video does not cover who should have blood cultures. Additional resources follow. CEC Aseptic Technique https://www.cec.health.nsw.gov.au/kee...
