Abstract
A 35-year-old woman with a history of prior Cesarean section (C-section) now presents at 39 weeks of gestation for repeat C-section. A sample (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid [EDTA] anticoagulant) is submitted to the blood bank for type and screen along with an order for two units of red blood cells (RBCs). The patient has no history of prior transfusion.
