Drogba?Thank God he’s alive (and the medical staff)
Has anyone ever collapsed on the pitch & come back to play again? Obviously there’s been fatalities & we’ve seen Muamba & Nouri have to retire. Is there any cases of someone resuming their career?
With the modern portable defibrillators you don’t really need to be trained. Just attach the sensors to the collapsed person’s chest and everything else is automatic. There’s a move to try and make sure that every amateur sports club should have one at their grounds. It could save a lot of lives.Timing is absolutely essential right ? Usually a regular person would wait 15-20 mins for EMT, I presume the outcome after such a period is rather pessimistic.
Its kind of sad how few people in the world can rely on such first class care. Professional athletes during competitive events, people that work in medical institution buildings, heads of state (and not in every country). I know in some office buildings there are defibrillators on each floor, however how many people there are actually trained and collected enough to use it properly...
Daley Blind, collapsed and has a pacemaker now.Thank God he’s alive (and the medical staff)

Drogba collapsed?Drogba?
This is just so incredible to watch, one of the best moments in football for years.Tweet

Never mind, it was by contact.Drogba collapsed?
Ah yes I remember that. I don’t think his heart stopped beating though?Daley Blind, collapsed and has a pacemaker now.
The sample size of players who needed CPR is so tiny. I only know of Muamba.Thank God he’s alive (and the medical staff)

I'm sorry, but yeah it's touching but it's not the best thing in football for years.This is just so incredible to watch, one of the best moments in football for years.
I hope his family are with him.
I was wondering about that, you also need to provide CPR in between the shocks , correct? How is it synchronised with the automatic operation? Does it give you instructions / counts?With the modern portable defibrillators you don’t really need to be trained.

When did Drogba have heart issues?Drogba?
Always good to see opinions on what is good for kids from people who’ve not got them and don’t have a fecking clue.They're gonna see some sh*t in this world because that's the way it is, and no parents nor noone can prevent that from happening. Better to accompany, educate and prepare.
And then you read about the likes of Jeff Bezos paying almost nothing in taxes. Sad state of affairs.These medics just don't get paid enough. Sometimes I feel embarrassed about how money we earn compared to these medical practitioners who save lives ever day.
Fascinating insight. Thanks.I am an ICU physician and have supervised plenty of code blue situations (doing CPR, using AEDs, etc)
It is absolutely remarkable that he is alive and speaking. The medics (and referee who stopped the game instantly) are absolute heroes. The survival rate after CPR is low, and survival with good neurological outcomes (like speaking and talking) is even lower. This happened with Eriksen because of the immediate action of the medics in administering early CPR and defibrillation.
He went into SCD (Sudden Cardiac Death) from VT/VF (Ventricular Tachycardia/Fibrillation). Typically in an otherwise healthy young person, it's due to structural heart disease (like Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy - HOCM). I'm not sure if players routinely get echocardiograms when signing for clubs, which would have identified this beforehand. It's not cost-effective in the general population but I am not sure about big clubs. It could also be due to genetic arrhythymia syndromes or less likely due to electrolyte abnormalities. In any case, he is going to get a battery of tests in the hospital and leave with an implanted defibrillator (ie, pacemaker).
I disagree.I'm sorry, but yeah it's touching but it's not the best thing in football for years.
It took for a player to collapse on a pitch
for this to happen, that isn't something to be applauded.
It kinda does sound condescending, because you imply yours is the only and correct way to protect kids. But yeah, im not gonna try to change your mind at all. Im just glad i didn't have over protective parents. Good luck matethis will sound condescending - but if you ever have children, I’ve no doubt that you will change your opinion and you will do everything you can to protect them.
Bafetimbi Gomis collapsed a few times I think and came back to play. Believe he had some chronic blood pressure issue or something like that, so obviously a different situation.Has anyone ever collapsed on the pitch & come back to play again?

That explains why the slight delay before the defibrilator was brought in. Some posters didn't waste time to jump in and criticize the responders.The national team doctor gave a press conference. Basically thanked everyone, said that when they were called on to the pitch, Eriksen had a pulse and was breathing on his own. However it started getting bad fast and they had to administer help to his heart. Eriksen spoke to them before being taken off to the hospital. That’s all we know of the situation.
FFSDrogba?
I think you should keep your opinions on parenting to yourself until you are in that position.It kinda does sound condescending, because you imply yours is the only and correct way to protect kids. But yeah, im not gonna try to change your mind at all. Im just glad i didn't have over protective parents. Good luck mate
And KanuAnyone think it’s strange that Nouri, Blind and Eriksen all have the Ajax connection.
You on about him diving?Drogba?
Yeah sure, instead of gatekeeping me, maybe you could just ignore it and move on, or maybe give some constructive input as to why you disagree with me. Also i had parents don't forget and weve talked about this issues. And im a physician who work with very sick kids also. None of that is the same as having my own kids, also im not pretending to tell internet stragers how to raise kids at all. Just an opinionAlways good to see opinions on what is good for kids from people who’ve not got them and don’t have a fecking clue.
Yes true! Interesting coincidenceAnd Kanu
Someone mentioned it earlier and yeah it’s odd. I’d say it’s just a coincidence but still odd.Anyone think it’s strange that Nouri, Blind and Eriksen all have the Ajax connection.
Who needs first-hand facts when you can make snap judgments from a TV screen anyway. The staff should've just consulted this guy first...The national team doctor gave a press conference.

It was piss poor that the Danish team staff didn't recognise he needed CPR and we had to wait for the medics to finally get over from the opposite side of the pitch to get things going.
Simply not good enough in my opinion. This is the highest level of the game.
Very interesting actually. I'd forgotten about Blind. Good motivation for Eriksen and good he'll be able to speak with Daley about it.Yes true! Interesting coincidence
The device gives you all the instructions you need. Including talking you through CPR (if necessary)I was wondering about that, you also need to provide CPR in between the shocks , correct? How is it synchronised with the automatic operation? Does it give you instructions / counts?

Cool. Any idea of a unit costs for one of these ?The device gives you all the instructions you need. Including talking you through CPR (if necessary)
