Comfort and Reassure – If your child is nervous, explain that it’s a simple test and will be over quickly.
Ensure Proper Rest – A good night’s sleep can help with accurate results.

The technician will use a tourniquet (as seen in the image) to locate a vein.
A small blood sample is drawn and sent for analysis.
After the Test:
