The department of Anesthesiology was asked to help teach the skills as well as staffs from other department, we participated in teaching venepuncture skill on those two days. Some of them were excited, afraid, or even terrified when they knew that they would have to practise real human venepuncture with their colleagues. Indeed, there were some students getting syncope!
The main mistakes during venepuncture practice were not tight touniquet, the needle puncture was not deep enough to penetrate the wall of forearm veins, and they forgot to release the touniquet before they drew back the needle, so there was always blood leaking out and felt syncope.
Although it was a painful experience, however, they had to know and learn that otherwise they would not concern when they have to do or perform with the real humans. For me, it was a really enjoyable experience teaching this skill.
