<p><b>New page</b></p><div>To prevent contamination of the sample with [[intravenous fluids]], particular care should be given to drawing blood samples from the arm opposite the one in which an intravenous line is inserted. Alternatively, blood can be drawn from the same arm with an IV line after the IV has been turned off for at least 5 minutes, and the arm has been elevated to drain infused fluids away from the vein. Inattention can lead to large errors, since as little as 10% contamination with a 5% [[glucose]] solution (D5W) will elevate glucose in a sample by 500&nbsp;mg/dL or more. The actual concentration of glucose in blood is very low, even in the hyperglycemic.</div>FuzzyBot
