They did use a defibrillator on him. At the time, they reported that it took them 9 minutes to get his heart started again (meaning they found a pulse). I have no idea how accurate that is. They said they got a pulse but that he wasn’t breathing on his own. So in this regard, I think the damage may be significant.
I didn’t watch the game live, so I have no idea, how long, so my questions are purely curiosity, but someone should have been screaming for the defib machine the second they realized he had no pulse. I am curious how long it took them to start getting attempting to restart with defib machine.
One would think that that should have been raced to the scene in seconds after realizing what was happening. Obviously I doubt the initial responders ran onto the field with one.. so I understand them trying to start with manual compressions until it arrived. I am just curious how long it took them to get the machine to him and start attempting electrical restart.
Please don’t think I am accusing anyone of misconduct or negligence, these questions are driven out of curiosity, nothing more. I hope the AED was being used within a minute or two.
