Spurs - Bolton game

[0rang3peel]

Fabrice muamba just dropped dead what the fuck anyone watching?

[Ryan]

He collapsed and was rushed to hospital, nothings been said about his condition on any of the news feeds.

[Baz]

They have used the defibulators on him. Match has been abandoned too

[McGuire86]

Dropped dead ??

[0rang3peel]

He collapsed and was rushed to hospital, nothings been said about his condition on any of the news feeds.

I know I'm just making it dramatic, completely bonkers. They had the defibs out though

[Ryan]

It's happened before where people have collapsed mid game for unknown reasons and sadly died despite being in perfect health.

A sad day for all sports fans if Muamba doesn't pull through.

Agreed, this is the 3rd that I know of, was one about 2-3 years ago and that African chap a while back. Mental to try and understand

Yeah, I saw that one it was so weird. This was freaky, puts football into perspective doesn't it

[Sinque]

Heart attack apparently.

They have dodgy hearts from birth usually but just don't know it unfortunately.

whos they?

[Ryan]

In the case of Marc Vivien foe it was a sudden heart attack brought on from exercise, but was a condition which wasn't known about at the time.

[Sinque]

whos they?

They who drop dead even though they are completely healthy?

[Tom]

Hope he pulls through but not looking good at all, the medics were on the pitch for 10 minutes and he apparently still wasn't breathing when he went down the tunnel.

[Cam]

They who drop dead even though they are completely healthy?

Alot of people do..... A organ can stop working any second.

[Yates]

worst one recent was the arabic guy doing back flips and that

For those wanting to keep up to date with the situation their feed is pretty up to speed and reectful of the current situation.

[lyndon]

Just seen this, fucking terrible, hope they can bring him back. Times like this when the whole of the country becomes one big team.

[dannygti]

As much as I hate football I hope this guy is ok.

[lyndon]

45 minutes and no news. can't be good

[0rang3peel]

Really horrible, didn't realise he was only 23 too

You heard that on Twitter, or in general? Apparently it was reported on BBC Manchester or something

[23carragold]

I really hope he recovers. Never easy to see something like that. Reminds me of Foe, and I hope to God it isn't the same outcome.


MUAMBA.

[chriswindy]

Hospital statement: Fab is in a stable condition!!

[lyndon]

As above, sky news ticker verified.

[joe333]

Didnt see it you think its on you tube yet??

[lyndon]

Yes it is

[joe333]

Thanks budd...Shit thats badddd mann:n:

[Bound]

That was fucking disturbing.

[Lacey_106]

So sad.

Sounds like he had undiagnosed Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS)
You don't realise you have it until its too late. He's in the right place at least. If you're going to have a heart attack you want to be there.

Keeping everything crossed for him. Such devastating news. :(

[Dom]

Sent a shiver down my spine.

Horrible thing to see, get well soon Muamba!

[Frankay]

Horrible thing to see, and to happen to anyone. Hope he recovers!

[Lacey_106]

I just can't see how it's possible to come back from that. I hate to say it but it would be a fucking miracle if he pulled through to survive any length of time.

Never experienced a person to have a cardiac arrest (multiple times) outside of hospital and survive to live a normal life.

I hope to god he makes it. :(

[lyndon]

It's good to hear they managed to resuscitate him finally, after trying for 10 minutes on the pitch and the whole way to the ambulance. Glad they got him back when they did or he would have ended up a vegetable :/

He's stable in hospital at the moment.

The only thing is at least in this case the medical team were there right away, it wasnt a case of a normal person needing to wait for an ambulance etc.

As I understand with most situations like this speed of care is of the upmost importance.

Yep. But you still don't have access to all the drugs you would have readily available in the hospital. CPR obviously helps, but as I understand it his heart stopped again multiple times on the pitch and when they took him down the tunnel he still wasn't breathing. No idea if a pulse was present.

I doubt they would carry epinephrine at the touch line which is the drug he needed if he had PEA as I suspect. :S

My friend died of this a few years ago, so sad

[Lacey_106]

Sorry to hear. Yeah it's devastating. Such a waste. Usually extremely fit active people with their whole lives ahead of them.

I cried watching that video. :(

[lyndon]

Yeah sorry for posting it, I wasn't going to out of respect but I know a lot of people would wonder what we were going on about.

[MikeYost]

Yeah he was a football player, had been playing for county team as well as not drinking/smoking ever.. was almost surreal

Medics at music events I cover I know carry drugs to inject into the heart (well according to what they told me when someones did a couple of years ago). Id expect at a stadium the size of a premier league club there to be very good medical care.

All in all we are just guessing at this stage over what is a tragic event, but at least we can presume he had the best care available at the time

Oh without a doubt, I'm sure he reciwved fantastic care. All I know is a paramedic cannot give ephedrine it has to be a doctor.

But anyway. I'm listening out for news and praying he pulls through.

snap..

was admirably quick how they got to him. It's shattering when you see things like this

praying for him :n:

[0rang3peel]

kudos to howard webb aswel, extremely dignified about everything and fairplay to the the fans.

humanity still exists

[Quick]

Football games in London, (big ones at least) have a London Ambulance presence, paramedic will be on scene so will be able to do ALS, give drugs.
If he stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest then, initailly the crew would attempt to get output before moving him further.

If you mean Adrenaline (epinephrine), then a paramedic can give it as part of the ALS.

[Dom]

Think he will play football again after this?

So sad to see, thoughts go out to his child and Fiance, he only proposed to her a month ago!

[Baz]

Suppose that depends on the likelyhood of this happening again. I would have probs said he won't which is v unfortunate at only 23. Could have been me, makes you think!

[lyndon]

I doubt it, his brain was starved of oxygen for a long time, He probably won't be the same person if he pulls through.

Categorically no. That's it for football.

If he pulls through I would imagine his life will be drastically different.

Ah Quick, I had hoped you would post. Anything on a standard crash trolley I guess you can give then?

Bloody lucky there was a cardiologist in the stadium too. I'm hoping all this means it wasn't his time.

[Saxovch22]

Hope he pulls through.
reminds me of a few others who died on the pitch not so long ago.

R.I.P

Phil O'Donnell
Antonio Puerta
Miklos Feher

[josh11490]

I don't watch or like football, but I seen this on the news, it's scary how it happened!

Hopefully he will have a full recovery and be back on the pitch!

[Hatcha]

I'd put money on it being Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Don't follow football but was shocked by this today, hope he pulls through!

[MickyWelsh172]

Turns out it was only a 'Cardic Arrest' and he's going to be anethetised (sp.) for the next 24 hours at least!

Hope the lad pulls through, cant see him playing again, but life's more important!

You don't just randomly have a cardiac arrest at 23 years old as a professional athlete.

There will be some underlying genetic cause that he was unaware of.

I'm listening out for updates, I have a friend who works at the hospital he went to, thankfuly for his family she said there has been a complete lock down re: leaking info.

Im just going by the statement the hospital released. As you said, you dont just have Heart Attacks etc at 23 year old for nothing, they were basing it on high levels of adrenaline??

[mikeygs]

Its so scary to think these things can happen to a professional footballer, and not for the first time.

Absolutley shocking, fingers crossed he will pull through.

[Matty16v]

This isn't in anyway meant to be racist or cause offence. However it is known African males are more likely to suffer from underlying heart conditions as opposed to white males. Its highly likely Fabrice has a condition he was born with, yet undetected. Nobody at the age of 23 who exercises the way Fabrice would, should have a heart attack.

The heart is a muscle, exercise increases that muscles strength. It is highly likely the heart muscle was weak from birth or another underlying medical issue which caused this unfortunate event.

Bullshit, the healthiest of people can still have heart attacks from a number of reasons, high blood pressure for example.
