Wow, this is interesting...

Kansas City Chiefs player needed heart restarted after going into cardiac arrest at team meeting Defensive lineman BJ Thompson is now ‘awake and alert’ after suffering medical emergency

From the above...

"...Staff then restarted Thompson’s heart with a single defibrillator shock. “So, he was only in cardiac arrest for less than a minute, minute and a half,” Burkholder said..."

60 to 90 seconds. Hope that's the case because likeky no brain injury. But to know so precisely, was soneone timing it. Guess, or did someone know to do that...

No mention of whether or not CPR was being done. If not, why not? Especially since use of both improves outcome from what I've read.

And for anyone else curious, a link to a recent paper on hypoxic brain injury...

Almost like there was one in the room..

I wonder why that would be...
