Some providers don’t really believe in aspirating which I think is pretty silly. If there’s a step I can take to even slightly reduce a patient’s risk of a complication, why wouldn’t I do it?
Believe me. I was surprised to see that blood in the syringe because the reality is, it’s a low likelihood that you’ll actually get the needle inside a vessel. But it’s also not 0%. So I’m super glad my provider didn’t skip this step!
