I always ?'d the unusually large number of non-randomised...Interesting to me why over 400 patients were eligible but NOT randomized..WHY?
So these people were hanging by a thread and couldn't get consent?
WHY NOT?
Did they drive themselves to the ICU?
Was the concept of running their relatives blood through a COMPLETELY SAFE filter that has been used on over 180,000 people a real concern for an unconscious patient?
Looking back to the MEDIC trial, we ( our company ) know exactly what they are looking at / dealing with...WHY did so many not get randomised? The "long drive through the night theory" holds as much water as my right ankle
