It's like being on a heart lung machine to exchange Oxygen and CO2 plus pumping the blood. It buys time for a patient for healing to occur.
Get well, Mr. Prime Minister.

Watch out for the end around attacks on the Brain...
Just the flu.... (remember those guys?)
Sounds just like the flu to me. Heck, not a flu season goes by when one middle-aged leader of a Western democracy or another isn’t placed on a ventilator. NOT!!!
I am just looking for any word that they have started giving him HXQ and Z-Pak, but no specifics on his treatment.
If they have not given it to him yet, I would conclude the fu****g UK doctors are going to kill him.
Lord, please spare him for the sake of the UK - and the world. Too few like him around....
I’m sure his doctors won’t prescribe it because they hate Trump.
I hope Boris makes a full recovery. If he doesn’t, does Boris have anyone else on his political team who is likely to continue his policies and priorities?
There must be some sort of support system. He couldn’t have pushed Brexit over the line all alone.
England needs to have a few contingency plans written up about now.
Meanwhile, Theresa May keeps checking her phone for urgent e-mails, the way Hilary does.
Give me $20.00 of that action...
It’s just the flu bro (/sarcasm)
He is the Trump of Britain he HAS to pull through PLEASE everyone pray for this man!!!
Essentially it’s a heart-lung bypass machine. The heart and lungs are stopped with medicine and blood is pumped outside of the body, through the ECMO machine where it is cleaned and oxygenated, and then returned back into the body. Our now-21-year-old was on ECMO for 3 days at birth following a traumatic delivery involving meconium aspiration. It was a last-ditch effort that, thankfully for our situation, worked. It comes with high risks (brain bleeds, etc.).
They probably are preparing to do this.
Somebody please check to see where Hillary is!!
Thank you. Info from front-liners is what we need, rather than pretenders.
I’m watching Sky News from the UK, Dominic Raab the foreign secretary has been deputized to assume control, basically he will oversee day to day activities and become Prime Minister if things really go south...
lol
If something were to happen to the Prime Minister, the Queen would ask The Secretary of State for Foreign a Commonwealth Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab to form a government. Raab would be a caretaker Prime Minister at until the Tories could hold a leadership election. The winner of the Conservative Party leadership would then be appointed Prime Minister.
Not sure who would run, the makeup of this Parliament is very different from the last.
Yep. The flu causes people to need to be intubated and on a ventilator too...kills people, too...thousands each year...and we don’t shut down the economy...though I digress...
Prayers up!
