Preston dad-of-three who had a chainsaw lodged in his chest pays tribue to North West Air Ambulance Charity who saved him
Eimhear said: “We immediately started to transfuse Rob with our blood products as quickly as we could and we needed to move him towards an operating theatre as soon as possible.
Eimhear said: “I estimate Rob lost three plus litres of blood. An adult male has about five litres of blood, so Rob had lost approximately 60% of his circulating volume before we arrived. Without blood transfusion he wouldn’t have survived the ambulance journey.” Rob said: “It was a bit emotional coming home. We were all back together again and it was just nice to spend time with my family.”
Rob said: “I think doctors give you time...they've given me time. Time to watch my kids grow up, time to be with my wife. They're giving me time to grow a bit older and appreciate life a little bit more, and enjoy it. ‘Blood on Board’ enables the charity’s enhanced pre-hospital care teams to administer optimum treatment at scene for some of the most critically ill and injured patients across the North West.
