University Hospital phlebotomists will collect blood during scheduled clinical blood collection at admission, day 1, and day 3, including one additional 1 mL research tube drawn at the same venipuncture, so no additional needle insertion is expected. Clinical care takes priority; collection will be deferred or omitted if the treating team considers it unsafe.
