1829:
ESPN, who are covering this tie live on TV, have reported that Fabrice Muamba had CPR while on the pitch at White Hart Lane. The 23-year-old collapsed about five minutes before half-time.

Beeb ^

 

[Embattle]

Indeed, although sounds like SADS.

 

[Ch3tan]

ESPN's reporter in the White Hart Lane tunnel says Fabrice Muamba was not breathing when the Bolton midfielder was carried past him. Medical staff were still attempting to resuscitate him and a defibillator had been used.

[Sydrik]

Game abandoned

Right move

 

[caLLous]

Yeah absolutely, hope he is ok. :\

 

[Keitanz]

wow what the fuck

 

[Aada]

Hope he is ok, although having used a defib on him is concerning.

 

[Turamber]

With all the doctors the clubs employ and all the tests they carry out on their players... How does this happen? Absolutely awful :/

 

[soze]

Brings a little bit of perspective to the game.

Rumours going around the Lane is that he died and the Ambulance was just for show

 

[Embattle]

Well sadly SADS/SCD is like that and although it rarely happens it is often quite high profile due to the fact it generally comes from nothing and often to fit people.

well, yes he did die as they had to defib him, wether he was succsessfully resucetated is yet to be seen but the paramedics aren'y allowed to pronounce someone dead, they have to take them to hospital regardless for a doctor to pronounce them DOA.

 

[Calaen]

15 minutes is along time to be receiving cpr, my head is telling me he's going to be ok. My heart is telling me he's passed awsy, and they are trying to inform his family first

I hope my head is right. It just puts everything into perspective

Yeah i know that but i suppose what he means is they tried to bring him back for 15 minutes and failed to get him breathing on his own. But it's rumours so I hope its not true.

 

[Aada]

Hospital have said he's in a stable condition, thank god.

I wondered that - there are scans to detect these kinds of heart abnormalities and presumably every premier league club would have these done prior to a transfer so its a bit odd?

 

[caLLous]

Just heard he's in a stable condition on SSN, what a fucking relief. Hope he pulls through ok.

Not all conditions, no.

 

[Scouse]

Science can't do everything. Shit happens. Could be a nerve signal thang, which would mean that scans wouldn't pick it up...

Good that he's stable. Hopefully he got a lot of oxygen so the damage to his heart tissue will be minimal (I think the heart muscle takes a proper beating).

 

[Sydrik]

On a lighter footballing note another sublime finish from Messi tonight, no idea how he nutmugged the defender but the chip was inch perfect.

 

[rynnor]

Not all conditions, no.

No - I see theres a bunch of other ones that are not physically visible through scans - some of these show up on an ECG though.

Sad end to the kids playing career most likely

 

[soze]

I am very glad he is OK and fingers crossed me makes a full recovery.

 

[Keitanz]

Seems he's not in a stable condition at all.

 

[Aoami]

poor bloke

I assume you got head and heart the wrong way round?

15 minutes is not a worrying amount of time to be receiving CPR for. If its being done by trained doctors with proper medical equipment they can keep somebody alive for hours. However unless they can get the heart to restart there is no point doing it indefinitely. The fact he is critically ill means they have got it restarted again. The worry is that when someone has a heart attack a part of the heart 'dies'. If this is large the working part of the heart might not be able to cope.

It's very sad.

 

[Reno]

Oxygen deprivation to the brain is also a very large factor in if and how well he might recover.
