What is the preferable and most commonly used vein for venipuncture?

The basilic vein, median cubital vein, and cephalic vein are superficial veins that are frequently selected for venipuncture at the cubital fossa because of its characteristics: a thick lumen and an easily visible confirmation.

What two antecubital veins should be used for venipuncture quizlet?

The median cubital vein, the preferred one to use, is found close to the center, and the basilic vein is located on the inner, or medial part of the antecubital area.

Which vein is best suitable for venipuncture quizlet?

The most commonly used site for a venipuncture is at the bend of the elbow, also called the antecubital fossa. Several veins in the antecubital fossa provide excellent access.

Why is the antecubital site used most often for obtaining blood specimens?

The median cubital vein, also known as the antecubital vein, is the most common vein for phlebotomy. Located in the antecubital fossa, the median cubital vein is a well anchored, stable vein that rarely rolls during venipuncture.
