Yeah as it stands there isn't anything about this the NFL could possibly have done to prevent short of mandatory cardiac mri for all players that get covid? Complete speculation on my part, but if he had covid 6 weeks ago and presumably myocarditis, I could see a high risk of blunt trauma causing a deadly rhythm disturbance cause the conduction chain is all hosed up from the inflammation.

I'm feeling pretty good on his likelihood of recovery considering how fast he got proper medical care. Probably won't know much for a couple days as they go through TTM protocol.

Lol why the hell is this a probe, he was talking about the real and dangerous disease itself, which the player just had

Or are we not allowed to talk about how Covid is bad and has potentially harmful long term effects?

But to be a complete realist out of hospital cardiac arrest generally has something like a 0.4% survival rate.

maybe for unwitnessed events. It's like 10% surivval to hospital discharg for people who experience witnessed cardiac arrests and undergo CPR. Likely higher for this guy since he's young and doesnt have other comorbidities

This was probably the best possible circumstqnces to suffer a cardiac arrest .. young healthy guy undergoes shockable malignant rhythm, gets Immediate medical attention/CPR/AED and swift transport to top tier hospital. It'll be a few days until they can prognosticate, all the sedation involved in the post-arrest cooling takes a while to clear out and you cant assess neuro effectively until then

Was watching last night when it happened. Knew something was seriously wrong when the medical staff were frantic, knew it wasn't a typical injury.

Reminds me of when Dale Earnhardt died in Daytona, had the same feel, medical staff was frantic and everyone else was in shock. Nobody knew what to do.

I hope he pulls through ok this is horrible :(

"After Eriksen collapsed during Denmark’s opening Euro 2020 group game against Finland in June of last year, medics used a defibrillator to restart his heart as a horrified nation — and much of the soccer world — watched on as he lay lifeless on the field at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen."

Yeah, it struck me this morning that if this is from some underlying medical issue (And not a result of what happened in the game), it's perversely lucky it happened during a game. Like, do teams have ambulances on stand-by for practices?

You're right--looking back I quoted traumatic arrest survival from ITLS which doesn't really qualify here (although it is traumatic etiology, this is truly a medical event).

I think I last saw 8% for Utstein inclusive medical OHCA events from the AHA, but I'll admit I haven't looked that hard for numbers in a few years.

I agree with everything you said here--he has by far the best possible circumstances for survival all around.

And yeah, he's on a wave of ketamine or propofol or benzos right now while they keep him nice and cool for another 12-24hrs. We can't really draw any conclusions from him being ventilated still.

Like I said earlier though, it concerns me if they were having to perform compressions for up to 10min. VF with an AED nearby should be pretty quickly correctable in this case, as I wouldn't expect it to be particularly refractory.

And like with Earnhardt, it initially looked routine (as routine as things like that go, anyway) like you've seen a thousand times before.

I was watching the night Owen Hart died in 1999 and I have the same feeling now that I did then. Something about this tells me it's grim. I hope to gently caress I'm wrong.

Yeah, the crash was pretty normal and didn't look bad at all really. But I remember Kenny Schrader crashing with him, then getting out of his car to check on Dale and freaking out at what he saw. Then the medical staff were all frantic trying to get him out of the car and into the ambulance, it had a really eerie feel to it just like last night.

Demonstrable long term effects even...

quote:

The cardiovascular complications of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are well described, but the post-acute cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 have not yet been comprehensively characterized. Here we used national healthcare databases from the US Department of Veterans Affairs to build a cohort of 153,760 individuals with COVID-19, as well as two sets of control cohorts with 5,637,647 (contemporary controls) and 5,859,411 (historical controls) individuals, to estimate risks and 1-year burdens of a set of pre-specified incident cardiovascular outcomes. We show that, beyond the first 30 d after infection, individuals with COVID-19 are at increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease spanning several categories, including cerebrovascular disorders, dysrhythmias, ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease, pericarditis, myocarditis, heart failure and thromboembolic disease. These risks and burdens were evident even among individuals who were not hospitalized during the acute phase of the infection and increased in a graded fashion according to the care setting during the acute phase (non-hospitalized, hospitalized and admitted to intensive care). Our results provide evidence that the risk and 1-year burden of cardiovascular disease in survivors of acute COVID-19 are substantial. Care pathways of those surviving the acute episode of COVID-19 should include attention to cardiovascular health and disease.

He was an overweight, middle-aged man, checked a lot of boxes for cardiac risk factors, but the nuts have picked up on his death and done the same.

"It might have been caused by covid"

"Yeah, maybe, and here's another thing thats unrelated and could also explain it"

covid vaccination being a cause and covid being a cause are two very different scenarios btw, only one of which warrants serious consideration

e: maybe the best way to head all this stuff off is to say 'no further medical speculation in this thread' because I doubt there's much new to say anyway

I think it’s an ok question to ask if myocarditis increases cardiac irritability (I’m sure it does) but also commotio cord is is well-known and there’s a clear mechanism and overall it seems weird to do the Joe Rogan Just Asking Questions nonsense over this.

I had covid pretty bad in 2020 and I still have heart (and lung) complications, so if he had covid it’s entirely reasonable to speculate it being a factor just as anything else we’ve speculated about. It’s not like they were saying the vaccine caused it.

That response was weirdly aggressive and dumb as hell.

I’m wondering what the protocol is for acls in the nfl in that situation? How quick can they get his pads off to do compressions? How long before it actually started? How long before someone realized what was actually happening?

His heart was stopped when he dropped. It wasn’t stopped when they finally realized he was unresponsive, checked his pulse, rolled him over, realized what was happening, got his pads and jersey on, did a pulse check, started compressions, got the AED on, got a 12 lead hooked up etc

Yeah that’s my point. Nobody knows anything except people close to the situation and they’re not saying anything yet. Getting pissed at people (especially those in medical field) for offering up ideas* on what could have been the problem isn’t helpful. If speculation is the problem then we should just close the thread until something substantial comes out.

Honest question, are you required any sort of large body trauma life support credentialing as a PA? ITLS/PHTLS all goes into this but athletic trainers (or any medical specialist near specialized clothing or equipment think fire dept, bomb squad etc) have explicit training to quickly remove pads/helmets etc for resus.

I’ve got some training on it but pads are designed to remove quickly or with few tools and training staff would know how to knock it out immediately. Typically I think you can cut ties over the chest and immediately have full access iirc
