Heparin, a blood thinner, is used to prepare patients for a number medical procedures including major heart surgery and kidney dialysis. The previously contaminated Heparin was produced at a plant in China for Baxter. The tainted heparin found to contain oversulfated chondroitin sulfate. The bad heparin killed many of the patients who received it. At the Delaware hospital, the current Heparin in question was not made in China and was not produced in the same packaging. North America produced this Heparin, which comes in intravenous bags. Still adverse side effects were reported in five hospital patients, including brain bleeding, and two patients have died. The investigation will tell if a new round of Heparin recalls and lawsuits are next.
