Lung damage would (probably) be from the resuscitation, not the cardiac arrest.

Yeah, speaking of the bengals long snapper...

"Bengals long snapper Cal Adomitis, who played with Damar Hamlin at Central Catholic and Pitt, said that when Cincinnati was updated on Hamlin's status, quarterback Joe Burrow was the first one to speak up and ask if the team could visit the Bills locker room to express their support/concern."

The situation is tragic but I did chuckle at chiropractor being included in the medical team list.

ianad, but Fiz's first effortpost mentioned brain death is the big talking point, but other organs are damaged permanently pretty quickly without oxygen as well. No idea if the lungs are high up on the list of things affected.

Oh sure, the ventilator. I was worried that if his lungs were damaged from lack of oxygen then that wouldn't bode well for his brain, but if the damage is from the ventilator then maybe his brain got oxygen quick enough to prevent serious damage. It's probably hard to tell where his brain is at since they've had to keep him sedated.

Also, it's been made fairly explicit elsewhere that they were waiting for Damar's mom to reach the ambulance so she could ride along.

That would either be done if he was guaranteed to die very soon, or if it looked like he was fairly stable already.

Odd as it may seem, I take this as the best omen out of the whole incident.

When my late father started having heart attacks and related trauma, one thing that I learned fairly quickly was the difference between an ambulance that's nonchalantly puttering its way to a hospital, or sitting still before leaving for one, and an ambulance that is two-wheeling corners to get there immediately. Just because the paramedics are taking their time and not screeching tires out of the parking lot doesn't mean that it isn't a deadly serious situation, of course -- merely that they've judged that they can take their time and do it completely by the book, given the circumstances and symptomatic evidence. But if they're hauling rear end, all bets are off.

The med staff surging onto the field right after his collapse? That's urgency, and absolutely vital urgency, and if anything ends up having saved his life and/or brain, it was that immediacy of having trained people working on him. But if the ambulance felt like they could sit and wait for family, instead of taking off like a rocket and directing someone else to bring her, then yeah, it seems that things were kind of settled by then rather than being second-by-second. That would not have happened lightly in the situation.

Truly hoping that that urgency pays off with good results.

It could be either.

Ventilation delivery runs the spectrum from full mechanical ventilations, where you set a rate and volume and let it ride, to highly sensitive ventilations that sense your effort and provide assistance.

Native breathing is a negative pressure exercise—diaphragm contracts, creates negative pressure in lungs and airbrushes in. Ventilation is a positive pressure action. This can damage sensitive upper and lower airway tissues over time. Tubes going into tracheas make an avenue for infection. He could’ve aspirated before the intubation occurred. He could have pneumo or hemopneumothoraces from the chest trauma of the resus. All resuscitation is extremely traumatic. We absolutely ruin the chest walls of people we compress—and by extension, the organs underneath.


It could also be oxygen settings.

The normal percent of oxygen in room air is 21%. You can dial that in up to 100% on basically every ventilator I’ve seen for supplemental oxygen, adjust pressure to keep alveoli from collapsing.

I’d caution against feeling that way. Time sensitive maladies (trauma, strokes, STEMIs) will get a 5min scene time but the longest scene times I have are securing airways and working arrests.

This falls into the latter categories, and mixing vasoactive agents and paralyzing and sedating folks takes time—and more importantly is very hard to do squealing down the highway.

What's odd to me is that Dale didn't affect me at all. Car racing is dangerous business and people get killed all the time. One weekend at San Marino killed more people on field than the NFL.

But the NFL had like two million snaps in the last 50 years and literally tens of millions of chances for something like this to happen and it just didn't.

The breathing being 50% doesn't necessarily mean anything and I wouldn't take it as a good thing or bad. That's coming from a family member who is in an incredibly stressful situation learning about things are are incredibly complex and relaying something he might not have understood. I'm not saying he's too stupid to understand it or anything, it's just not useful right now. Plus the people reporting on it don't understand it either.

Weening ventilator support can look like a couple of things. They could have just decreased the amount of oxygen he's on, or decreased the amount breaths the vent is giving him, or decreased his cannula, or changed the settings. They might have been trying to hyper oxygenate him for some reason and are trying to bring him back down. My first rotation was plum critical care but that was a long time ago and this is more of a swickles question.

Basically I wouldn't read too much into that either way.

adaz posted:

I don't know who can answer this (if anyone can) but in cases like this you have the patient intubated after cardiac arrest and on oxygen what do you monitor before bringing them back into consciousness? I assume part of it is you just give time for the body to heal so you leave them sedated awhile just for that. I'm guessing you then monitor like o2 saturation, pulse rate etc but what is the general procedure if anyone knows?

Arterial Blood Gasses. basically put a line directly into an artery and get very precise C02, O2, bicarb, pH lvl. Beyond oxygenation you're worried about acidosis, meaning they're not clearing CO2. The air we breathe in gives us oxygen, but when we breathe out that same air clears our CO2. Like I said, if you hold your breathe, you pass out because you have too much CO2, not because you don't have enough oxygen.

The other thing that can cause acidosis are metabolic problems, primary concern here being problems with the kidneys, but he'll be getting regular renal panels im sure.

If they're worried about brain death from a hypoxic brain injury, they'll do the apnea test the Apnea test is pretty simple; they decrease the supplemental o2 and see if his body increases respirations to get more air in and clear the CO2. We change how we breathe without thinking to do it. If his pCO2 rises without compensatory change, then that implies the pons and medulla are damaged.

Surely they are going to mean he’s on fio2 50%. Which means the ventilator is giving oxygen with a higher percentage of oxygen than just room air.

When you’re dealing with families they’re obviously very nervous and constantly looking for improvement when there really isn’t any because of how post rosc cooling works. Usually you use some strong sedatives or and paralytics to stop shivering.

I know someone asked earlier in the thread about like if he was entitled for healthcare and medical expenses and it turns out the CBA is more complicated than I thought! While his immediate healthcare is covered because he's under contract etc, I had thought he was also a veteran and so was covered for longer but apparently? you have to e in the league for 3 years and 3 months before considered a vested veteran. Without that when he "retires" or is cut he technically wouldn't be eligible for the 5 years of medical care.

Obviously, all this is hypothetical there is 0 chance the Bills and NFL wouldn't pay for everything assuming he makes a recovering (please recover) but it's an interesting tidbit.
