CPR Comes to MNF

By now we are all very familiar with the events that occurred on Monday Night Football before a national audience. Damar Hamlin experienced a traumatic injury which resulted in cardiac arrest, and on the field, in front of tens of thousands of fans, and on the television screens of millions of people across the country, skilled, knowledgable medical providers administered life saving CPR and defibrillation.

While the prognosis for recovery in Hamlin's case has much to do with his youth, his physical conditioning and the outstanding post cardiac arrest care he has received, without a doubt the single most important factor in his survival was early CPR with defibrillation.

While Hamlin knew the physical risks when he put his equipment on that night, he more than likely never considered an injury resulting in cardiac arrest was possible. Likewise, we go to work every day, never considering the reality that 10,000 cardiac arrests occur at work every year. For many of us, we do not have the benefit of athletic trainers, team physicians, or staffed ambulances sitting on the sidelines.
