    The document provides recommendations for collecting blood cultures using a winged blood collection set. It advises to collect 2-3 sets of blood cultures, with each set containing one aerobic and one anaerobic bottle. A set for an adult should contain 10mL of blood per bottle. The proper procedure is to check that the bottles are not damaged or expired, remove the flip caps, disinfect and allow the bottles to dry, collect the appropriate blood volume based on patient weight, and transport the sets to the laboratory as quickly as possible.
