Core Tip
Core Tip: The research results can evaluate the application effect of heating gloves combined with the hand-swinging method for fingertip blood collection in children. If fever gloves combined with flicking can reduce children's discomfort and resistance and improve the effect of blood collection, they can be applied to fever clinics during the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic to improve the success rate of children’s fingertip blood collection and patient experience.
