2022 NFL Week 17 Thread: Mert is Slacking and the Titans are dead

[kuronosan]

A third of those Twitter replies are people asking his vax status.

That's because dumb fuck Infowars fans think it causes cardiac arrest secondary to clots.

[Buffy]

don't think anyone should worry about whether or not he plays again. just hope he'll be able to return to a semblance of normalcy

I think NFL contracts are fully guaranteed in situations like this and they get opted in to the veterans pension too without the minimum time qualifiers….swear I read that somewhere….

[Emphasis]

The hit looked relatively harmless, but really humans weren't made for NFL tight ends to run into them at full force.

*Correction, 220lb wide receiver.

[Tyche]

Worried about him though, more than 10 minutes for ROSC and he can't breathe on his own? Hopefully that was quality or that brain is wrecked. Even if it was quality, he may never play again.

Yeah, for sure, 10 minutes of CPR, anoxic brain injury is almost a certainty. The extent won't be known for awhile.

Him not breathing on his own could just mean they sedated and intubated him. Which happens to pretty much every code. Could mean anoxic brain injury that affected the brain stem. It's hard to parse information when they people giving the information don't understand the information themselves. Him not breathing could be such a wide range of things.

[kuronosan]

Fair point, that's assuming he was intubated at that time. That they loaded him from the ambulance then started CPR is assuring they probably hooked him up and said "oh shit".

Like I said. Poor guy. What a way to end your career and potentially your quality of life.

That's up there with people using this saying the vaccine caused him to collapse.

30 mins from injury to transport isnt ideal

[Boyiee]

Was it confirmed 10 minutes of CPR without rosc, or if and how many shocks were given by the aed, or is it all just Twitter info.

Waiting for the mom for the ambulance to leave is confirmed it seems and that seems wholly unlikely given the circumstances, so I would think if that's the case then they did get rosc back earlier and the results are on the more optimistic end.

[Melena]

Nothing official, but looks like the Bills are packing up and won't be playing tonight.

[Weltall]

Yep, appears the game is over.

New acls/phtls is mostly stay and play with higher survivability rates when they don't move the patient. My wife thought that was a long time too being a nurse and my reply was that it was actually decent.

not surprised at all

honestly it would be unsafe for dudes to go out there right now

Hard to say since it's all Twitter info. They were doing CPR and AED for at least 10 minutes.

Edit: Bills are packing up and probably not returning to the field. Would be curious to hear Headspace's thoughts.

depending on circumstances, but we can call codes after 20mins of acls in the field (this would not be one of those times, but we wouldnt be sitting on scene that long either)

Yeah, I haven't watched any of it, just going off the Twitter posts that have been linked here. I thought they started CPR on the field and I assumed they bagged him until the ambulance got there.

I mean, there's multiple MDs on that field at any given time, I assume. Neurotrauma docs at least. Someone knew what they were doing, but no fucking clue what equipment they have on the sidelines.

Gotcha, I turned it on about 20min after it happened and everything was second hand info.

Sucks.
