Abstract
A 31-year-old woman 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’s blood type is O-negative, as tested from an outside laboratory, and she received Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg) at 28 weeks of gestation. A type and screen sample (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid [EDTA] anticoagulant) from the mother and cord blood is submitted to the blood bank along with a request for postpartum RhIg.
