Case Study 1: An 82-year-old female patient named June arrives in the emergency department after falling and hitting her head. She has a history of rheumatoid arthritis. She is alert on arrival but quickly loses consciousness. An EKG is taken and suggests that June is having a left ventricular myocardial infarction. She is taken to the OR and prepped for coronary artery bypass surgery. While typing and cross-matching June’s blood, it is determined that she is a universal recipient. What is June’s blood type? Because June’s blood cannot be used for transfusion during the procedure, what blood product will be used? What other blood factor must be identified when typing and cross-matching is completed?
