Venipuncture is performed to withdraw blood, inject a medication, start an intravenous infusion, or inject a radioactive substance for body imaging techniques.Puncture of a vein, typically to obtain a specimen of blood. The pain of venipuncture may be diminished by several methods, including application of cold to the area just prior to the puncture; injection of sterile, normal saline intracutaneously to produce blanching of the site; and use of a local anesthetic to produce a wheal at the site.The extraction of blood from a patient's vein for the purpose of testing or research. The prevailing technique employed in adults entails the removal of blood from the inner arm vein close to the elbow utilizing a hypodermic needle and a suction tube."}
