Good news! Been praying for him often today.

Thank god for good news.

I think source is credible it looks like he works in sports media

FiO2 was 100%? Good lord.

This is still 7 to 10L/min of O2 being delivered. That's a lot. This is a human still hanging by a thread.

A lot of people get charged with managing people's false hopes and unreasonable expectations.

Turned the positive into negative
We're all hoping.

Doesn't CPR (and twice in Hamlin's case) cause lung injury in some cases? I wouldn't be surprised as I've heard he was resuscitated twice ...

This is normal across the course of this treatment. It doesn't signify anything, necessarily, significant. They will continue to wean him back to room air oxygen over the course of 2 or 3 days. Or attempt to. If he had pulmonary edema, as I am reading, that is merely pulmonary congestion from the interruption of blood flow (when the heart stops) and will clear after blood flow is re-established. The ICU has methods of moving this along. All kind of expected things at this point.

Sometimes. It was reported that he had some pulmonary edema, which was most likely from the inciting event, but the CPR could, potentially, contribute to it. In any case the lung "injury" was secondary and is responding to treatment as you'd expect in a healthy 24 year old.

It's not. It's standard operating procedure for someone that's arrested. The O2 is weaned down as able. It's merely part of standard ICU protocol. It's maddening watching every internet fan comment on every little bit of information that leaks out of this guy's care. Know he is getting excellent care and you're going to have to wait a couple of days to actually hear how he's recovering. Just because you have Twitter, doesn't entitle you to minute by minute updates on this sick man. Give it a rest. Give him and his doctors some space. Stop with the need to comment on every little bit of stuff you read on Twitter. Stop with the feeling of "I need to report this first on the Zone."

Even 2 minutes of cpr has a good chance to break some of your ribs, and when heart fails, your lungs can and usually fill with fluids

9 minutes of cpr, means he was effectively dead for 9 minutes. its not surprising he was intibated and has been on O2 for so long. and yes, they bring him down on O2 concentration as the lungs clear the fluid.

sorry, swiper already posted basically what i just did, only in medical language.

I heard this morning that his uncle also said that his heart needed to be restarted again at the hospital. Did anybody else hear that?

[northernbillfan]

Yes. He mentioned it on Total Access last night

Yes I heard the same.

I heard this and need to report this on the Zone:

I love the fact that I live in the modern era, and I love tech and automation. But, there are drawbacks. One of them is that every time something happens/changes, people expect a screen to light up and inform them. Another is that everyone who can use Google thinks they're an expert in everything. So, when you get a situation like this where it's a process that takes time, people get impatient and people with no medical expertise start speculating to fill the perceived void. And other people spread that information without realizing that the people that posted it first don't have any expertise or info about the specific situation.

Appreciate the medical speculation!

[BuffaloBlitz83]

Appreciate the medical speculation!

He's trying to be positive. Sheesh

[Discotrish]

Please don't speculate on medical conditions you have no knowledge of. I don't know why I have to keep repeating that to some posters here.

Maybe he meant to say I'm the only one who shouldn't be speculating on medical conditions.

Although I fail to see why, since the entire mainstream news media and internet is doing it.

This is incorrect.

Not everyone who goes into cardiac arrest is automatically intubated with 100%FiO2 for an extended period.

The goal is to maintain SPO2 at about 95% while titrating O2 delivery.

And almost 36 hours after injury, he is still at 50% which is significant.

That's all I said.

I never said it was out of the realm of any expectation.

I'm standing here talking to a respiratory therapist as I type this. At work.
