News: Damar Hamlin Injury thread (Breathing Tube Removed!)

[Cowboys5217]

Oh dear god please save this young man's life.

The fact he is alive and has a heartbeat is good news.

He is at a very high quality hospital. I feel confident they will save him.

So he does have a heartbeat. That is good, really good. Hopefully we continue to hear more positive updates throughout the night. Thanks for posting this. I was just combing the internet trying to see if there was any sign of life. ESPN site is not good at updating. I'm glad the NFL did the right thing and postponed the game. Praying for him and his family. I haven't been this shook about a sports injury since '95 NFCCG when one of our players hit the WR coach of the Packers and he hit his head on the concrete. That was the last time I remember having this sick feeling.

whats disturbing me the most is it was a regular play he got back up to go to the huddle and just collapsed

it reminded me TOO much of Hank Gathers which i try to NEVER think about

That was awful.

I posted a video about this earlier and several others have mentioned it as well.

First thing I texted my brother and here! I really haven’t heard about it in football as much as in youth baseball with line drives to pitcher. Doesn’t matter anyways. Only matters the guy gets the care and hopefully can recover

That's only a few rounds. I imagine pads went on immediately as they always should, especially for someone who was likely in a shockable rhythm. Oxygen should have been going from the beginning, at least with a bag valve mask. They probably struggled to get a seal and hopefully put in a blind airway quickly.

No it's NEVER "good," but in the realm of death its as quick of a response as anyone could hope for.

Clearly, they did their jobs well enough if he's pulsing now. Again, the underlying cause needs resolution.

Having actual doctors getting to him immediately is huge. We have to remember they aren’t just someone who received CPR training at the local Red Cross. He had actual doctors working on him immediately. That makes a hug difference.

This thread is about Damar Hamlin!

Do not post insults, conspiracies, complaints or off-topic comments in this thread!

This bears repeating, as pages are added. See above.

Very surreal when they showed the replay. Prayers up for Hamlin and his family. Just terrible.

 

[Dallasfann]

Man..just so horrible. I've always worried about DBs and there small shoulder pads when it comes to big collisions. Never to the extent of something as horrible as what happened to Damar. Prayers are and have been with him and his family all night. So sad..ugh.

What was the cause of the collapse? Scientifically speaking.

 

[pupulehaole]

I aint religious so no prayers from me but man I hope this kid is ok.

Came across commotio cordis, which is a theory floating around. Prayers to this young man.

We don't know, so let's resist speculation until we know something.

If you're religious, pray for him. If you're not, hope for the best possible outcome.

I was reminded of that too. I just don't want that.....thought....just please no.

 

[guag]

Omg I am on the verge of tears over here. I am not a praying man but he will be in my thoughts big time. Wow please be okay...

 

[Rockport]

Prayers sent to him, his friends, family and loved ones.

Father God ,

We lift this young man up to you.
Please draw he and his family close to you.
Please heal , comfort and bless them.

Have your will,

In Jesus mighty name,

Amen

The only relatable thing I’ve seen like this was in the late 80’s when hockey goalie Clint Malarchuk took a skate to his carotid artery in his neck. He would have died on the ice if one of the trainers didn’t reach in and pinch the artery to stop the flow of blood. I’m relieved that the player tonight had such quick access to the EMT guys.

never fails to amaze me how fragile life is and when one time may come even for the youngest and assumed healthiest of us.

Yeah....I literally saw a medical discussion about this elsewhere, and everything about it checked all the boxes for that type of injury.

The survival rate for this injury.......is very bad.

I pray it's not this.

 

[sacase]

Prayers to this young man. I hope he pulls through with his health intact.

 

[Jake]

I'm not a religious man but respect those who are, and if you are then please pray hard for this young man.

I can only speak from compassion. I can't imagine what his family and teammates are going through now. I hope, with all my heart, we get some good news soon.
