single-mode fiber posted:I have this as well, except all of mine are the dumbest poo poo imaginable (the drops that dilate your pupils at the eye doctor, being leaned too far back in a chair for too long, like at the dentist, stuff like that). Your experience of being able to tell when it's about to happen within 10-20 seconds basically mirrors mine. Dreams where I'm killed by shooting, stabbing, the dream ends with that sensation of way-too-low blood pressure in your chest. It's easy to see how people in the past would imagine that it's the feeling of your soul leaving your body. holy poo poo I thought I was the only one who passes out from dilation/numbing drops, that poo poo's knocked me out like 3 times. my only other syncopal episode was about 5 minutes after I got my first COVID shot, which is odd because I've never passed out from a needle before then or since. I got dragged to the ER in an ambulance after that one because I started twitching a bit after I went down and my heart rate went down to 35bpm.

Leperflesh posted:While we're handing out kudos let's not forget the Bengals medical staff ran out onto the field immediately as well and were part of Hamlin's first response team. NPR had a segment on this; there’s three medical groups at a game as shown in some of those early tweets - one for each team and the “stadium” staff that are there just for the game which includes the EMTs, an EM physician that leads any serious response and an anesthesiologist. It is routine for the nearest training staff to initially respond to a down player for initial assessment but usually the player’s team takes back over. Before each game all three medical teams brief and do a walk through of a full code response which does involve everyone as you might expect. This is the first time it’s happened at an NFL game, but the procedures are based on incidents from other sports.

Dango Bango posted:Really? I have it too but had to catch up on the thread. I can pass out if I get up too easily (happened more as a kid than now). That tilt-table thing is for real - the first time I gave blood it started happening. Thankfully I knew what was going on and was able to get a nurse's attention. He ran over and flipped the chair back so the blood rushed back to my head. Such a crazy feeling. Oh hey! Yeah I don't exactly announce my full medical profile to everyone I meet, so I've probably met several people who had this without knowing it. But I've never gotten to like chat about it and compare notes with anyone before. SA threads probably put far more eyeballs on it in 24 hours than I've had people I talked to about it in the last ten years. I've had one case where I got horizontal, on my back knees up, and still passed out, but it was an extreme case: most of the time getting into that position, or further down with my head below my heart, will keep me conscious no matter what. I don't usually get dizzy from standing up fast either.

I can't speak for all hospitals, but mine has been so dangerously understaffed since the start of covid where the boomers retired and the young staff all left for better jobs that you'd probably go all night before someone got around to checking that alarm.

I have to call out that while his foundation is now taking donations directly and that is likely the best way to donate, his GFM is over $8.13m now. That is loving incredible.

GoFundMe takes about 3% off the top, so at this point if you are considering donating, donating directly to his foundation is probably the way to go.

Now that it appears he will survive and probably be able to lead a normal life, if they find out it was commotio cordis and not a deeper issue, is there any chance he could ever suit up again? Or does the damage from this whole experience destroy the chances of being an athlete?

Or does the damage from this whole experience destroy the chances of being an athlete? Just too early to say, really, because we don't know what if any long-term damage this might've done to his cognition/heart/lungs/other vital organs. If the long-term damage is nonexistent or minimal and it was just a freak occurrence with no deeper issues attached, theoretically (I should note here I'm not a doctor, I just did a lot of medical reporting/writing in my day) he can get back onto the field. There are tons upon tons of questions to answer between now and then, though, and unfortunately that's just gonna take some time.

Just my personal opinion but even if he's otherwise fine I can't see another team risking giving him a chance. I know I sure wouldn't. But again that's just my take.

Dango Bango posted:Dumb question here - how is his condition still considered critical when he's conscious and responsive at this point? 30,000 ft answer is just that the body is a hugely complex machine and there's a lot of possible damage (or actual damage we just don't know about) that could have occurred. You can have a responsive, talking person who is still in mortal danger of organ failure.

Dango Bango posted:Dumb question here - how is his condition still considered critical when he's conscious and responsive at this point? They haven't officially diagnosed commotio cordis as the cause so they want a close eye on him to be safe. Could also be some various collateral damage that we aren't aware of.

My dad went into hospital with pneumonia Easter Week 2015 and he didn't come out alive but when I saw the list of complications listed on his death certificate I was amazed he lasted as long as he did. Also, that was when I found out that registry offices have a 'death' entrance

My friend Mark, who was a light smoker, died of pneumonia at about 24 or 25. He got a bad cold, went to the hospital, a day later they said he had pneumonia, and he was dead like 12 hours after that. It's no joke and it's still a risk of course, although that was in 1999 or 2000 and he was at a really lovely rural hospital. Still, I think at this point Damar's chances are way above 50% and considering when folks thought he'd been on compressions for 9 minutes people were talking 1% or less, we can all celebrate those odds.

Or maybe he's on some kind of monitoring that's only available in the ICU like arterial blood pressure monitoring. Or maybe they're keeping him in the ICU for no good reason at all.

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:that's not really true, everyone uses the same AHA guidelines I’d wager no good reason at all or easier to control flow of guests in the icu. (ICUs usually tend to be very locked units with tighter guest controls). Plus it’s easier to staff. Once he gets to regular or step down floors the nurses aren’t going to be checking as frequently because they’ll have bigger ratios If I’m the nurse working with him that shift? Sweet deal. A probably super nice and grateful dude who really only needs eyes on the monitor for anything odd. The only part that would suck would be how much your charting would be double or triple checked. Vasoconstrictor meds this late would be odd for someone like him without any assumed comorbid conditions. Being extubated this long wouldn’t require that frequent of ABGs so you could just straight stick him instead of keeping an art line which makes getting the patient t up and moving slightly more difficult.
