What is more accurate-venipuncture or fingerstick when it comes to a cbc and will your counts be higher or lower. ?

Venipuncture : Venipuncture is more acure than finger . The count in more hight in finger , more concentrated, .For kids we regular use finger. If you want to have a comparative, use always same place.

Venipuncture: Dr. Landron-garcia is right. Venipuncture is always considered to be more accurate. Finger sticks can be accurate if the stick bleeds freely but if the finger has to be squeezed to get enough blood, the results will be higher because the blood becomes more concentrated from the squeezing.
