How awful. She is a very lucky woman to survive an ordeal like that.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Well, I’m glad she didn’t pass away. Who would play Peter Griffin’s boss at the Pawtucket Brewery?

[Morgana]

Remember what Obi Wan said. No such thing as luck. The Force is strong with this one.

Fisher was kept alive with CPR administered by a fellow passenger after she was not breathing for 10 minutes or so, it has been claimed.

If that's true, that's not a good prognosis.

[Tax-chick]

I think it means CPR was employed for ten minutes while she wasn’t breathing on her own, not the everyone on the plane stood around for ten minutes before doing anything.

On a respirator now according to L A local news.

Brother asking for prayers.

[farming pharmer]

Let’s hope so.

R2 is never around when you really need him.

Hope the princess does well.

Stopped breathing for 10 minutes or so? If this is an accurate report, she’z not out of the woods yet. My prayers for Carrie Fisher and her family.

[erlayman]

Wouldn’t that most likely result in a comatose state ? How can her condition be reported as stable ?

[Vermont Lt]

Full cardiac arrest for that long?

They are keeping her alive until her family can come say their good byes.

[Vermont Lt]

It’s stable, because she is probably brain dead.

[lee martell]

“Stable” as in consistent. Her vitals signs (heartbeat, respiration, temperature, blood pressure, red blood cell count) have not dramatically changed for a while.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Sometimes. Just depends on the moment. If she was dead for a particular amount of time.....could result in some brain damage.

[bobby.223]

Chewy getting a paw-full there!

[Col Frank Slade]

If she really stopped breathing for 10 minutes that would be serious brain damage lack of oxygen.

I hope for the best for this lady but past behaviors have a habit of causing future problems. Her admitted past cocaine habit may be a cause of this early heart attack (by age being 60 years old [born 21 October 1956].)

From WebMD: The reality of cocaine hits after the high. Cocaine has powerful negative effects on the heart, brain, and emotions. Many cocaine users fall prey to addiction, with long-term and life threatening consequences. Even occasional users run the risk of sudden death with cocaine use. Read on for the not-so-glamorous truth about cocaine use and its effects.
