Why is blood typed and crossmatched before being given to a patient?
Blood typing and crossmatching are done to ensure that the donor blood is compatible with the recipient's blood to prevent transfusion reactions.

This helps prevent potentially life-threatening reactions such as hemolytic transfusion reactions.
