Off Heart Lung Machine

Iain has been off the heart lung machine for about an hour which is great. He does have a fair amount of bleeding which is less welcome but not unexpected given that he was on blood thinners. It is a fine line for the medical team to walk as the thinner blood is good for the machine but obviously a bit of a problem when the bleeding does not stop. They are giving him blood “products” So everyone – we want his blood to clot.
