Update on Damar

Thank goodness. I’d expect him to be extubated by morning assuming he’s responding well under sedation.
depends on if they induce therapeutic hypothermia or not. also, i’d be interested to know if he’s on pressors or anti-arrhythmics.
Wife seemed to think they'd cool him down to give his heart a chance to rest
Here’s to hoping a quick response from the on-site paramedics prevented any long term consequences of hypoxia. Receiving oxygen and quick CPR will hopefully lead to a quicker recovery now that he’s stabilized from a vitals standpoint and he has a secure airway.
I'd have to think brain damage from lack of oxygen becomes the biggest concern now?
That’s what I was wondering. If he had no oxygen to the brain for 8-9ish minutes. Just unreal freak accident.
Sounds like really good news considering the situation
it’s SOP with a defibrillated arrhythmia when the patient doesn’t wake up immediately after.
He’s his marketing rep and friend, and has been vouched for by a number of people.
Luckily, the CPR started almost immediately.
Who knows man. I think we’ve all seen more positive updates in the last hour than we expected, and if these are credible people putting out this information, the kid is a hell of a fighter and I’m not counting anything out yet…
The guy says he’s Demar’s marketing rep.
If the news is true, it sounds like wonderful news and hopefully this man can make some sort of recovery. What a tragic night.
He is personally connected to him. Scroll down and he says he's his marketing manager.
If they got a pulse after a couple cycles of cpr, they would’ve stopped. But not the o2 of course.
Aikman and Buck said cpr was performed feverishly for 9 minutes. At some point an AED was used as well according to reports.
They said “they were working on him for 9 min, and we were told they administered CPR”
So maybe not full blown cpr for 9 min. My niece came out of the womb with her heart stopped. Cpr 20 min. Dr said she wouldn’t make it thru the night and if she did, there would be serious brain damage. She made it thru the night and brain scans two days later showed no brain damage. About to turn 23. No problems. Biggest miracle I’ve ever witnessed.
Thank God she was at Northside hospital in Atlanta which has a pediatric ICU. Just a terrible few days. Twin bro first born so it hit me hard.
That is an amazing story. A true miracle! Praise God!
I have no idea. I was referring to cpr no being administered very long. They would’ve stopped as soon as a pulse was present. Firefighter/medic here.
