Abstract:
Perioperative red blood cell transfusions are common. Antigen screening, performed via indirect Coombs test, is required prior to red blood cell transfusion. False-negative test results can lead to acute or delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions. This case report emphasizes the importance of using life-long alerts in a hospital's electronic medical record system for patients with positive antigen screening to prevent false-negative preoperative antigen results from leading to hemolytic transfusion reactions.
