NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Week 17: NFL Other Games

[lancerman]

Things like this reminds you how extraneous football is. Going into tonight this was a huge hand between two of the top teams in the conference for crucial playoff positioning. Now almost everyone couldn’t care less about what this means for the playoffs.

This is just rough to watch

Please get these 3 off the air..

Foreal just leave it at a damn commercial at this point.

An AED wouldn’t be used if he had a pulse, if I remember right the AED will only shock with no pulse. hopefully the got him back and he just needs O2….

AED means "useless" pulse that does not move blood like ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

What is AED?

Automated defibrillator. Gives an electric shock to the heart.

 

[cmasspatsfan]

Watching that replay he took a pretty good shot to the chest and even though he did get right up he looked a little shaky.

 

[Kontradiction]

Not true, they would drive off the field as fast as possible

Would they do donuts though?

 

[A.C Vegas]

The electrodes to restart the heart.

Just to be accurate AED can not restart the heart just reset the rhythm of the heart

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Hopefully this is a positive sign as they are not rushing to the hospital, at least as of 15 minutes ago

Ive heard of that happening with kids playing baseball. kid gets hit in the chest with a baseball and goes into arythmia and dies

Something like that happened in a Massachusetts high school hockey game almost 30 years ago (I won't detail how I remember that incident). There is a (something like) 1/50th of a second moment in a heart beat cycle where if you get hit there, it can be deadly. He got forechecked in the chest. Hard but clean.

The kid got up, skated about 2 steps, then collapsed. This horrifyingly reminds me of that.

We have seen players brought off the field on stretchers and ambulances before. I think they cleared the field tonight because they know something the rest of us don't.

 

[venecol]

Damn that kid is my boys age. Praying he's ok and survives this.

 

[reflexblue]

Would they do donuts though?

Probably not

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Ambulance left for the hospital 8 minutes ago

 

[PatsfanTN]

Hopefully this is a positive sign as they are not rushing to the hospital, at least as of 15 minutes ago

I would think this is a positive sign?

 

[Triumph]

Feels eerily similar to Dale Earnhardts crash at Daytona.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

In basketball we have had the hearts of Reggie Lewis and Hank Gathers give out, on the court.

Maravich also at age 40

 

[PatsfanTN]

Feels eerily similar to Dale Earnhardts crash at Daytona.

God, that was awful to watch too…I remember

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Tough job for the announcer. Booger doing a good of giving a player perspective.

unless they can say he is going to be OK, they should suspend the game.

 

[Free_Pacman]

An AED wouldn’t be used if he had a pulse, if I remember right the AED will only shock with no pulse. hopefully the got him back and he just needs O2….

The biggest concern right now is neurological function even if he now has a pulse. Unfortunately, if he was down for 20 minutes without a pulse, he mostly likely has a massive brain ischemic injury from lack of oxygen going to his brain during the time he was pulseless.

 

[Chevy]

The electrodes to restart the heart.

I had to wear one of those vests for a few weeks after I got out of the hospital in October. Multiple sensors, four "paddles", and a heavy monitoring unit.

 

[Santi]

I really don't think we should read in to the speed/actions of the ambulance, could be anything going on at this point.
