If a hematoma occurs during a blood draw, first apply direct pressure to the site for several minutes to help stop any bleeding. Elevate the affected arm if possible to reduce swelling. Ice the area for 15-20 minutes to minimize discomfort and swelling. Monitor the site for any signs of infection or increased swelling; if symptoms worsen, seek medical attention.
