During a particularly long and bloody spinal fusion procedure for scoliosis,the perioperative nurse collected,monitored,and spun down the blood collected in the autotransfusion cell salvage system.She was able to provide the anesthesia provider with three units of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) by the end of the procedure.As the team calculated the estimated blood loss (EBL) as wound closure ended,the perioperative nurse also:

A) added the total from the suction canister.
B) excluded the suction canister since cell salvage returned blood to the patient.
C) included suction content,subtracting irrigation amount used.
D) requested hemoglobin and hematocrit levels to quantify EBL.
