EKG machines are complex devices that monitor the heart’s performance through wires and electrodes attached to a patient’s chest, arms and legs. Phlebotomists are the health care professionals who draw blood, ensuring that the proper amount is taken and that all blood is properly labeled. Their main responsibility is drawing and preparing blood for lab testing, but Phlebotomists are also responsible for collecting specimens of other bodily fluids for testing as well.
