[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any chance he is brain dead? Is it expected that vital signs are normal but a patient is still in critical condition?[/quote]

Yes, I believe not having an update on his condition is because they are assessing his brain damage.  They performed CPR for 10 minutes.  That's a lot of time for the brain to not have oxygen or to have low oxygen.  And he had the best medical response you could ever imagine when something like this happens.[/quote]

Disagree.  The chance of him being brain dead is very low.  He may have some recovery to do from hypoxia, but it shouldn't be severe.

They don't have an update because there isn't one.  His vitals are stable.  They will let him rest in heavy sedation while they do tests.  They probably won't even try to lower his sedation until 48 hours of brain rest. So we are looking at Wednesday morning.[/quote]

He was down for a long time. He will be lucky to survive and if he does, he will be lucky if he experienced only mild hypoxia. It only takes a few minutes before the brain starts to react to loss of oxygen. [/quote]

This is completely opposite from what other medical professionals are saying. He was in the fortunate position to receive medical care, CPR almost immediately. He was not “down” and without oxygen to the brain for nine minutes, he was receiving CPR and AED during that time., Life/brain-saving procedures.  [/quote]
