Per the article above regarding Muamba, he received 15 “shocks” in combination with CPR over the course of 78 minutes. I’ve done CPR training a few times and they teach you how to use an AED and I was taught to put the pads on as soon as possible and the machine tells you whether to deliver a shock.I am clearly mistaken, but I thought AED usage and chest compressions are not compatible. I thought if there is no heartbeat, you do CPR because an AED only helps when the patient is fibrillating, not to re-start a stopped heart. And if there is a fibrillating heart, you don't do chest compressions because that is dangerous to a beating heart. Could one of you medical nerds set me straight?
You can always choose to not watch. Scary things happen in life. Hiding them isn't the answer.Now I'm seeing a lot of online rage about the decision to keep the cameras rolling. I don't agree. I would rather watch and know what's happening than be kept in the dark and thinking the worst. At least if you could see them giving CRP, you would know there was a chance.
The constant outrage cycle really is a drag. Nothing can happen without people being pissed off. If they cut the cameras, people would be pissed off too.
my wife rolled her eyes at that. She said the medics did a fantastic job.Twellman apparently like criticized the medics and is getting roasted all over. Was also pulled from the studio set
edit - he said cpr took too long to start or similar
I disagree vehemently. A pan out shot or something would have been sufficient. They were showing him being defib on live tv and showing his wife. There is a line between information and going too far and they went too far. I think it took them to realize how serious the situation was and it was not decent to show as much as they did.Now I'm seeing a lot of online rage about the decision to keep the cameras rolling.

Thanks to your wife for the info and you for posting this. I had no idea.I asked her many of the questions that have been asked here. She said it isn't that they can't do CPR during transport. The issue is that stopping CPR while they turn him on his side, get the board/stretcher under him, and positioned - just those few seconds of stopping CPR is enough to have dramatic negative effects. She said as a field medic, there are about 10 things they are looking for with a cardiac arrest in a pre-hospital setting ("h's" and "t's"). She said they have medications and tools they use trying to address those and hope it is one of them. She was extremely encouraged that they took him off after about 15 minutes of work. She said that it certainly appeared to be a well run operation and this scenario is certainly something they planned for and drilled. That they took him off indicated strongly to her that they got back a pulse.
Maybe Eriksen got word out he wanted the game played. Do it for the Gipper kind of thing.From my friends sister that lives in europe
“BREAKING: Denmark vs. Finland is to resume at 8:30 p.m. local time (2:30 p.m. ET).
The Danish statement adds that the players confirmed Christian Eriksen is "OK" before agreeing to restart the game.”
The Danish team evidently were able to talk to him via phone.Maybe Eriksen got word out he wanted the game played. Do it for the Gipper kind of thing.
You could have turned it off, no?I disagree vehemently. A pan out shot or something would have been sufficient. They were showing him being defib on live tv and showing his wife.

They showed his fuckin wife in tears in the stands. It's absolutely tasteless. Nothing is gained by continuing to show the scene on the field as a guy fights for his life. Cut to the studio for god sakes.Now I'm seeing a lot of online rage about the decision to keep the cameras rolling. I don't agree. I would rather watch and know what's happening than be kept in the dark and thinking the worst. At least if you could see them giving CRP, you would know there was a chance.

It's on ESPN News.And of course ESPN is showing it on their subscription-only service.
I hate ESPN.
Yeah on the right lolThere was definitely a fist fight going on in that fan shot.
Correct call because the defender played the ball no?How can you have replay and allow that to go through?
thats the only thing I can think ofCorrect call because the defender played the ball no?
Might be talking different games here. Denmark just got a penalty after a pretty obvious dive.Correct call because the defender played the ball no?
