Abstract

A 52-year-old male with a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and three-vessel coronary artery disease is admitted to the hospital for a coronary artery bypass graft surgery. An ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulant sample is submitted to the blood bank for type and crossmatch of four red blood cell (RBC) units. No transfusion history is given.
