In this episode you will learn: - The number one priority when a hematoma begins to form is to immediately stop the blood draw. - Releasing the tourniquet before withdrawing the needle is a critical step to prevent hematoma formation. - Common causes tested on the exam include transfixing the vein, partial needle insertion, and using an incorrect needle gauge. - Use the mnemonic 'STOP' for management: Stop the draw, Talk to the patient, Oppress with firm pressure, and Pack with a cold compress. - Proper documentation of the incident and response is a key professional responsibility covered on the exam.
