Rooney gave the update on the NFL player's condition to ESPN on Wednesday and noted Hamlin remains sedated. His update comes after Rob Butler, Hamlin's agent, told ESPN on Tuesday night that Hamlin's oxygen levels had improved.
Hamlin, 24, is in the intensive care unit at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was transported after he went into cardiac arrest on the field during the first quarter of the Bills' Monday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The safety collapsed following his tackle of Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, and CPR was administered to Hamlin before an ambulance arrived.

Because it took that long to get to the field, see what was going on, and start CPR, and then get the ambulance out there.
Professional trainers are as well trained as most paramedics—at least when it comes to CPR. I am sure there was a doc in that scrum as well.
Sometimes shit just happens.
Yes. Yes he would.
read the article and comments in that article for good details on what may have happened to his brain. One is the aortic aneurysm (common side effect of the vax), where NO blood gets to the brain and CPR just pushes the blood into the body.
It makes neural functions drop way down.
This is a tiny rural Hosp. No MRI available...35 miles away...though.
There are large prayer rings at the end of every single NFL game. Always has been a thing. There are sometimes smaller ones before warmups.
If you just read the same crap on the internet, you will believe the same stuff.
If Tim Tebow had been able to throw touchdowns regularly, the owners would let him hold services during halftime. They ONLY care about money and winning.
Nothing at all is lost if we wait for his family to make that decision.
Articles such as that add nothing to the human condition.
Ours is small as well.
When I worked at Pfizer, CAT Scan machines were still rather new, they told us that there was some law or rule that the FDA would not allow more than X number of CAT Scan machines in a given geographic area. Somehow this was supposed to increase competition or some such garbage.
I wonder if they still use that rule for MRI machines......
I have a brain scan every couple of years. (They bring in med students to show them my glorious colloid cyst—I call it my pea brain.)
They wouldn’t be able to bring in any of that equipment where an MRI is working. Too much metal. It would turn into shrapnel.
That is what I expected, but don't know how much can be evaluated right now. One of my brothers works in this area and I will have dinner with him tonight and get more info on how to determine how this is going. My gut instinct is that nothing more will be known until they end the induced coma. I hope all goes well, most of the country has him in their prayers.
Why would they construct or utilize such a tiny space for an MRI?
There are ventilators, IV pumps, even anesthesia gas machines in the control room of the MRI with extended tubing that goes thru a hole in the wall and connects to a patient in the MRI scanner
Icu patients, even people under general anesthesia can & do receive MRI studies.
Yes and there are ventilators & anesthesia machines with titanium parts that are MRI compatible. There are even MRI compatible oxygen tanks.
Lots of people spreading misinformation here. They’re well intentioned folks but really should refrain from opining
We don’t have a lot of room for expansion, but they are building a new wing as we speak. Going UP instead of out. Also we have height restrictions because of the Air Force Base. The CAT Scan machine room and possibly the MRI may be in it as well. For a while back they leased an MRI that was in a trailer..............
The key question is whether he is breathing on his own.
The ambulance is always located adjacent to the field. The thing is brain damage can start at 3-4 minutes. According to the reports CPR was performed for 9 minutes before the defibrillator was used. An AED is pretty small. In an emergency someone can run from the ambulance to the patient.
Yes, that would tell everything..................
I guess....
Amazing how life can turn a foul mouthed vile clown of a person into a ‘saint’ - it does happen.
