William Aird: Don’t Expect Bleeding – Look for Thrombosis

William Aird, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Founder of The Blood Project, shared a post on X:

“PHYSICAL EXAM IN HIT

Don’t expect bleeding. Look for thrombosis.

  •  Skin necrosis at injection sites
  •  Swollen, tender limbs (DVT)
  •  Cold, pulseless extremity (arterial clot)
  •  Signs of PE, stroke, or organ ischemia

Falling platelets + clot? Think HIT.”
