Abstract

A 31-year-old female is post uncomplicated vaginal delivery of a full term, healthy baby 1 day ago. According to the history from the patient’s obstetrician, the patient typed O-negative blood group, as tested from an outside laboratory, and received Rh immune globulin (RhIg) at 28 weeks of gestation. A type and screen sample (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA anticoagulant) from the mother and cord blood are submitted to the blood bank along with a request for postpartum RhIg.
