In sincerely believe they tried desperately to save his life.
This is what I think occurred with Oscar post TRAUMA.
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
This is from WebMD (click here)
...In DIC, the body's natural ability to regulate blood clotting does not function properly. This causes the blood's clotting cells (platelets) to clump together and clog small blood vessels throughout the body. This excessive clotting damages organs, destroys blood cells, and depletes the supply of platelets and other clotting factors so that the blood is no longer able to clot normally. This often causes widespread bleeding, both internally and externally....
No matter how much blood they pumped into Oscar, including platelets, could stop the bleeding. His wounds were incredibly traumatic to the body. The wounds were not at his extremities. The wounds were at the center of his chest dynamics. He was trying very hard to stay alive. His wellness worked in his favor, but, the longer he bled the more the platelets were used throughout his body and the gross survival reaction of his healthy body to stop the bleeding worked against his efforts and that of his medical team. He suffered a horrible death and the mental cruelty was beyond imagination.
The reason such efforts failed is due to the complicated syndrome called "The Clotting Cascade."
The clotting of human blood is a complicated scenario. People rely on blood to carry oxygen and nutrients to nurture their body. Now realize the blood is circulating to every cell of body tissue. It becomes the body's defense as a survival mechanism. That is why there is a 'cascade' because the 'circumstances' have to be correct to 'stimulate' a clotting response.
If a child happens to accidentally injure themselves and bleeds; the bleeding doesn't stop immediately. It takes a fairly short period of time to form a clot at the site of the injury to stop the bleeding. The reason for that is because 'biochemicals' have to initiate this survival mechanism of circulating blood. That biochemical reaction occurs at the level of cells. Platelets are only a small part of the cascade.
But, every aspect of the cascade has to be intact for it to initiate.
When a large trauma occurs as with Oscar the 'body's supply' of those biochemicals becomes depleted. When that depletion of the body tissues occurs; which are vitamins, minerals and biochemical compounds of the body's metabolism; no matter how much blood or platelets are infused as quickly as possible it is DIFFICULT to stop the bleeding because THE ENTIRE biochemical cascade is no longer in the 'stores of the tissues/cells.'
Oscar was severely depleted and while the trauma teams seek to return the body to stability and reinfuse all those wonderful biochemical COMPONENTS to force the body to return to a normal balance, that doesn't mean the body is going to cooperate. Cell Death. There is cell death that occurs after the trauma and during the survival response. There is no way of infusing cells to the parts of the effected body due to cell specialization.
It is the trauma that is the enemy. The initial trauma has to end.
Oscar did not will his death. He fought hard to stay with all those he loved.
My sincerest sympathies to all those whom's lives he touched.
