Bills Bengals - ambulance on the field

@Jolly said in Bills Bengals - ambulance on the field:
The Bengals-Ravens game for Sunday will be played at 1 PM ET," said Field Yates.
Season looks like the game will not be played.
Read my earlier post. They are going to play the week 18 games, cross their fingers, and hope the results mean the Cin/Buf game is rendered mostly irrelevant.

UC Medical personnel last night described Hamlin as 'neurologically intact'. Someone I know translated that to 'cognitively intact'. Not sure those two are the same thing.
George? Bach?

It has also been reported -- I don't know by who, possibly a teammate -- that he opened his eyes last night. Also that he is obeying commands.
Somebody clarified that "neurologically intact" means he's making movements under his own brainpower.

Our top restaurateur, Jeff Ruby, is catering diner for Hamlin's family every night. And it ain't PB&Js.

He was conscious last night, able to follow commands and asked who won the game. Good sign.

Asked who won the game??? That's great! LOL.
Present and accounted for, eh?

They are talking now about eliminating the bye week for the first seed and adding an 8th playoff team in each Conference. Seeding would be based on winning percentage.
Leave it to the NFL to figure out a way to make MORE money out of this…

Don't forget. According to the NFL, they're only concerned with the health of Hamlin.

Someone is getting a promotion for having that idea.

How will they work him into the Super Bowl halftime show?
Simple thoughts and prayers, or a live feed from the ICU, maybe a drive-by in an ambulance

George - when might they try to extubate him? Now that he’s awake and all.

@jon-nyc several criteria have to be met.
Among them:
- ability to maintain a reasonable SpO2 on a low FiO2 (probably about 0.4)
- ability to maintain spontaneous respiration with endotracheal tube in place for a predetermined length of time - in my day, it was 24 hours - with no ventilatory support
- ability to protect one's airway. Given that he's conscious, I doubt that this is an issue
- assurance that his lungs have recovered from whatever insult they may have sustained (related to #1)
- stable, or improving chest x-ray
- assure adequate strength to maintain #2 and #3 (probably not an issue since his illness has been so acute and short-lived)
#1 and #2 are the most important.

Thanks.
So it could hopefully be soon I would think.

Do we even know if he's staying conscious?

From CNN: "Here are the major takeaways from today's news conference at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where Hamlin has been treated since he collapsed Monday night:
Hamlin has made "substantial progress": The player is demonstrating signs of "good neurologic recovery as well as overall clinical improvement," UC Health Dr. William Knight told reporters.
It's still a long road to recovery: Doctors emphasized multiple times that Hamlin has a "ways to go." He'll need to start breathing on his own, and taking him off a ventilator will be a cautious, gradual process. UC Health Dr. Timothy Pritts said it's too soon to say for sure whether he'll make a full recovery.
Hamlin is interacting with family: Loved ones at Hamlin's bedside have been able to hold his hand and communicate with him through written messages, though the player isn't speaking. Doctors said he even asked if the Bills had won the game.
The cause of his cardiac arrest is not yet clear: The doctors said tests are still underway to determine what caused the medical emergency and that there are no "definitive answers" at this time.
An outpouring of support: Doctors thanked community members for holding vigils, sending food to the hospital and lighting Cincinnati in the Bills' red and blue.

Just give both the Bengals and Buffalo W’s for last week. That way all of the other teams have to play the week straight up, the way they should. The only team it screws is the Ravens, and who really cares about that?
If the Bengals and Bills win this week and KC loses, give the Bengals the #1 Seed by virtue of head to head against KC and they had the lead and homefield advantage in the game against Buffalo…
