Damar Hamlin collapses at Bills Bengals game

Watching the clip of Dan O Praying for Mr. Hamlin on ESPN was so powerful. Will continue to Pray for him & hope he makes it through this!

Dan O was magnificent. He put his faith and prayer to work over banal niceties. Love this guy’s heart, humanity, and living his ethics.

Oh wow, you’ve got a few years on me. When a veteran shares his knowledge I’ve always found it best to stop and listen. I should have specified, once ACLS had been established, I personally, would have felt comfortable continuing CPR while in transport, especially due to his age and that it was a witnessed arrest. But yes you are absolutely correct, CPR in an ambulance is difficult. I’m glad I wasn’t the medic on that call

I did NICU and was a transport nurse. We always stabilized with IV access, intubation if needed before we got back in the transport vehicle - I can remember a few trips having to pull over and resuscitate before continuing our journey. Of course some of our trips were 1.5 hours + each way.

It looks promising for Damar. Over 100 years ago, Gardner Dow died from brain injuries when he was playing football for Connecticut Agricultural College in a football game in New Hampshire. CAC later became UConn and a campus field was named in his memory.
