So everyone without a medical background. A trending upwards white blood cell count with a trending downwards blood pressure is often indicative of a systemic infection or sepsis. Long term ecmo, ventilation, indwelling catheters, central catheters all carry major infection risks. This is one of the many reasons why ecmo is extremely dangerous and you would like for the patient to get off as quickly as possible once they’re able to adequately oxygenate without it. With the significant improvement in Tommy’s oxygenation/clearer chest X-rays it is clear without question that rlf-100 is working. Plain and simple/period. It stopped cytokine storm and promoted lung healing in a patient with complete respiratory failure. Unfortunately, despite this improvement sepsis can very quickly and suddenly happen and cause negative patient outcomes. I feel bad even writing this as a mans life is in the balance and I’m really not sure if it’s our place to discuss. Also we don’t know all the details. But a lot of us here are emotionally invested in his outcome. Above all, let’s all pray for Tommy. It speaks volumes of a persons character when they receive that much support and love from a community. It’s clear he’s a fighter and let’s pray for him and his family.
