Background: There are not appropriate research about use of saline lock for obtaining blood samples and intravenous drug or fluids. The purpose of this study was compared the biochemistry values obtained by venipuncture and saline lock after intermittent administration of solution and medication. Methods and Materials: This quasi-experimental prospective study was done on 63 patients who were admitted in Cardiac ward Amir-Kabir educational hospital. The sampling method was convenience. A tourniquet was tied above the saline lock, the first 0.5 ml of blood withdrawn was discarded, then 5 ml blood was obtained. Simultaneously, 5 ml sample was drawn from the opposite arm. The samples were analyzed for FBS, Chol, TG, HDL, LDL, BUN, Cr, Na, K, CPK & LDH. Results: 53.9% participants were male. Mean of age was 63.52±12.63 years. There were no significant differences in mean of biochemistry values in blood obtained by venipunctures saline locks (p>0.06). Conclusion: Nurses can use saline lock after intermittent intravenous drugs and fluids, in order to determine blood sample for evaluating blood biochemistry value. This method relieve pain, due to blood sampling.
