ER doctor who treated George Floyd testifies on cause of death

The Hennepin County Medical Center doctor who treated Floyd and declared him dead last May testified that he believed Floyd likely died of asphyxia.
Dr. Bradford Langenfeld, an emergency medicine physician, said he treated Floyd for about 30 minutes on May 25, 2020, as hospital staff unsuccessfully tried to restart his heart. Based on what paramedics reported and on Floyd's medical condition, Langenfeld said the "more likely possibility" of Floyd's cardiac arrest was hypoxia, or lack of oxygen.
"Doctor, is there another name for death by oxygen deficiency?" prosecuting attorney Jerry Blackwell asked.
"Asphyxia is a commonly understood term," Langenfeld responded.
On cross-examination, Langenfeld said that hypoxia can be caused by many things, including drugs such as fentanyl, methamphetamine or a combination of both.
Earlier Monday, Judge Peter Cahill spoke to jurors outside of the view of cameras about an allegation of juror misconduct. He ruled there was not been any misconduct and the jurors were credible.

Regardless of whether it was drugs or a knee to the neck, at some point, Mr. Floyd was no longer resisting and should have received first aid. Instead, he was continued to be restrained and compressed.

Even if drugs COULD have killed him the prosecution is just playing games to create reasonable doubt in one juror. Chauvin was the cause of triggering ANYTHING to cause death so justice is only one verdict. Stop police entitlement to murder and send this man down

[@justacinnamonbun8658]

Since GF was not rendered aid appropriately, this will still leave open a charge of some kind of negligence against Chauvin, even if it's not murder he can still get the can for allowing someone to die because he didn't do his job.

If by “every first responder failed to to do their job” you specifically mean the cops, then yes I agree... where it gets blatantly and systemically criminal is when to obscure this failure they also prevented anyone else present at the scene from making any attempt to aid or resuscitate Mr Floyd... Cops are absolutely trained to administer CPR themselves and if they had done (even just half-heartedly) there would be evidence of it. Bruised, cracked or even broken ribs are all very common signs that someone has had emergency chest compressions. There was however ample evidence they actively blocked the airway of an unconscious man for a sustained period of time 🙄 which is literally the exact opposite of CPR.

I find it hard to believe that a doctor would not have had any thought to that being the case. I would think that any doctor that had a patient coming in from an arrest scenario should automatically check that out first thing. I mean come on man...

Exactly. The doctor can certainly agree with the points that the defense made about how some drug interactions can mimic the effects of a cardiac arrest but they will NEVER be able to prove that these so-called drugs created these exact effects of a cardiac arrest, assuming that they were even in his system, which was unlikely. Now if George Floyd was, for example, being pursued by the police or in a panic situation like trying to get away, and THEN went into cardiac arrest, the case of certain drug interactions being the cause of it would perhaps have more credibility, provided it could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that certain drugs were in his system. Instead, he had a KNEE on his neck which was proven by the ER doc after examination that this alone was the cause of his cardiac arrest due to asphyxiation. In other words, what are the exact odds of this cardiac arrest occurring due to (alledged) drug interactions only while at the same time, a knee was on his neck for almost 10 minutes?

Yes, but the doctor was very specific there, he said the paramedics did not say if the patient was displaying agitated behaviour prior to his cardiac arrest and agitation is or can be a sign of drug use. That's why the doctor was swayed to thinking cardiac arrest due to asphyxiation. The paramedics arrived after Floyd went into cardiac arrest and wouldn't have seen his behaviour prior to it. If there's evidence, video or otherwise of Floyd being extremely agitated, that will alter the doctors view on the potential cause of death. The doctor was used his language carefully and specified based on the information he had received. Obviously if he receives more information or different information, he comes to another conclusion or, he's less than 100% or 90% or 80% on the cause of death than he currently is.

In case you still want to blame fentanyl, 1) during the arrest and prior to the knee being placed on his neck, he showed no signs of opioid toxicity. He was alert, orientated, sitting upright, and able to follow commands. people who are ODing are confused, slouched down, unresponsive, and unable to follow even basic commands. 2) If he was not currently experiencing OD symptoms prior to the neck restraint, then it's impossible he would have suffered an OD at a later time. You cannot increase your blood levels without taking more medications and Floyd clearly did not ingest more fentanyl during his arrest. 3) If you have a heart condition and I punch you in the chest hard enough to cause cardiac arrest (yes this is actually possible), you wouldn't blame the heart condition for the cause of death. You would blame the person you did the punching.

Doc did not want to talk to the defense at all lol 😂 and you can tell...cause it's BS to defend Chauvin

[@bridgettreid5270]

The doctor didn’t want to talk with anybody. I feel like he’s being threatened behind closed doors by most likely the prosecution.

@Lem Lovel Nothing is a slam dunk in a criminal case. Nothing is a given. I’ve studied law some and the tiniest little piece of information, the tiniest, can turn a sure verdict around.

This man failed to identify the drugs in floyds system and failed to treat him appropriately... this man is more at fault for floyds death than the cop. Another ems might have actually saved him from OD

[@VocalMusicMinority]

The man has to relive losing a patient over and over and a patient so important it fractures a nation. I'm sure that weighs heavy on him.

[@carl5535]

George Floyd didn't fracture a nation. His death although was exploited for personal gain.

Sorry.... Haven't gotten the final answer on what's her names home buying spree...

[@pjzanotto7454]

These news reporters just misinterpreted what the doctor said. He said lack of oxygen was most likely the reason based on the fact that he had no knowledge of drug use.
