Plenty of people with medical experience here, and it’s the JBo dropped thread and is thank god seemingly ok thread so it’s completely ok to talk about it. There’s a video that shows them doing compressions and it’s being said he was shocked so a lot of what’s being said isn’t as speculative as you think. There’s only so many arrhythmia’s that get electricity, and he being a young athlete can potentially narrow down the initial cause. If an AED shocked him it was ventricular tachycardia (vtach) or ventricular fibrillation (vfib) as those are the two arrhythmia AED’s shock. They both mean the heart still has electrical activity but it is disorganized so the heart is quivering instead of pumping and resetting it through electricity is the hopeful correction. These are both lethal if not immediately corrected.
If it was a paramedic or a doctor looking at a rhythm on a monitor and deciding to give electricity through a couple of different ways it could’ve been either of the above, or atrial fibrillation (afib) with rapid ventricular response (fast afib) or Supra ventricular tachycardia (SVT) which can both potentially be treated with meds and procedures. These seem unlikely given presumably skilled folks decided he needed CPR, which is rare with these rhythms. Atrial Flutter is also a shockable rhythm that an AED would not shock. It’s strongly likely to be one if the first two. What the person you’re criticizing is saying is wondering how JBo deteriorated to one of these rhythms in the first place.
With all due respect, you know essentially nothing about what happened or the person it happened to. Nothing. You have no medical history, you have no familial history, you have no blood work, you have no imaging, you have no enzyme levels, you have no toxicology, no vitals, nothing. You have a video of a guy collapsing and an assumption about EXACTLY what EMT's may or may not have been doing to the person who collapsed. Not even audio.
And yet the "person I was criticizing" was wondering how JBo deteriorated into one of those rhythms in the first place. A rhythm you or he have no idea he was or is in.
Glad the medicine thing is so easy. God forbid any of you have a heart event. Make sure you keep a video handy though, you can just send a gif to your doctor and they'll diagnose and fix you up virtually.
Yes this is a message board. And yes, you can guess. But why? So someone can be the first to "make the "call". I diagnosed it right, I diagnosed it right.....This place........
