Zeke Upshaw Collapsing on Court

[@ItsWill21]

For those who didn’t know, he passed away 2 days later after collapsing... and was diagnosed with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy a year earlier and wasn’t carefully monitored by anyone from the team or his family. That type of diagnosis typically kills an athlete within a few months to years if not treated properly.

[@AEMoreira81]

They knew that and allowed him to keep playing? No doctor should have allowed him to play.

[@EricaInTokyo]

HCM shows little to no signs and does not result in a heart murmur or arrhythmia, which is what a doctor is checking for when they listen to your heart at your annual physical. The only way to have known that he had HCM prior to his death would be for him to have had an echocardiogram and full work up by a cardiologist, which is not something you do routinely, only if you suspect there is underlying heart disease (such as, a murmur or arrhythmia). Unfortunately people do drop dead from HCM, because again there are little to no clinical signs prior.

[@lillucy3755]

How was he dead before he got diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

[@noonfly]

Absolutely ridiculous that none of these so-called medical personnel could tell he had lost a pulse and therefore to start CPR. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is recoverable but the prognosis is completely based on time from arrest to initiation of high-quality CPR. People get better medical attention than this from strangers on the street.

[@vivalaoldies]

Collin Culbertson they are professionals dumbass. Everyone is all a sudden an expert when something happens. You’re probably some broke ass who couldn’t hack it in medical school

[@miracles8416]

Paramedic/firefighter here.. What Collin said is correct.. They should’ve realized immediately that the player did not have a pulse. I don’t know if this player survived but if he didn’t, it’s mostly likely because the personnel failed to perform CPR right away.

[@toxicslayer2087]

[@happyharper5494]

Collin Culbertson - they didn’t do CPR because he had a pulse at the time and was breathing you idiots duh

[@gabrieldeollos3290]

Miracles they took way to long. Should’ve checked for a pulse at least and if they had one they’d still get medical personnel, but if he didn’t they better hope they call EMTS in and move their asses quick. Sadly that was not the case and highly unprofessional to me. He didn’t make it and died, I blame the doctors thinking for this death.

[@mariafalchetti3182]

[@maxe2820]

I didn't know the guy died, but as a medical professional i got extremely nervous seeing him laying there immediately. The first thing I'm thinking is, turn over, C grip, check circulation and ventilation (I expect this to be an emergency), basic life support, intubation, monitoring, IV access-->bicarbonate etc, if shockable rythm defib, otherwise atropin bolus, adrenaline etc.... Thats what went through my head in the first 5 seconds watching the video. Instead they need atleast 2minutes to just turn him over. As they say in med school: 1min delay 10% chance of survival gone. WTF With that motivation level please do another job.

[@maxe2820]

Okay I looked into that a bit more. Apparently they needed 4mins to start working on him, that's ridiculous. i remember a situation in hospital where there was a potential risk patient that went into asystole (due to harmless reasons though, as was diagnosed later) and we were working on that guy immediately but the rescucitation team needed 2mins to arrive there The cardiologist ripped these guys a new asshole. (and that's a hospital and not a courtyard)

Ur telling me that the staff couldnt turn him on his back and check for a pulse? No pulse then start cpr. Omg worst medical staff ever.

[@PvtGermanWagz]

CPR is done if you’re not breathing, not if you can’t find a pulse. Only thing that’ll help if you don’t have a pulse is a defibrillator.

[@AznIntegra521]

@@PvtGermanWagz ur wrong, when ur heart isnt pumping, ur also not breathing as well. Cpr will help buy u time until a paramedic comes. If ur heart isnt pumping, ur body isnt getting oxygen. By doing cpr, ur manually pumping the heart, the longer u pump the heart the better the chance of survival. I watch a lot of rescue 911 when i was younger, i know what im talking about. Besides u cant defibrillate someone if the paramedics isnt there, cpr is use to buy time to keep the person a live as possible until paramedics arrives. Not everyone is going to have a defibrillator handy waiting to use, and depending on where u live it could take minutes before a paramedic arrive, thats y cpr is so crucial.

[@44kdog]

@@PvtGermanWagz i’m a medical professional and please do not spread false information. that is 100% false

[@LastCryOfWorld]

@@44kdog He is wrong but not entirely. It is nowadays not recommended to look for a pulse to attest a cardiac arrest if you are not trained to do so. If you are not medicaly trained, you should check if the patient is uncounscious by asking simple orders such as opening his eyes and check if he is in fact breathing. If he's uncouscious and not breathing, you call for help and start CPR immediately to limit the no-flow. Defribrillator on the other end, won't work if you have an asystolic cardiac rythm only if the patient is in V-fib or ventricular tachycardy. You probably know that but i wrote it if some people were interested in the procedure. At least it is what we do in France

They could have performed CPR. Once a patient confirmed lost their consciousness, Medical Staff should perform CPR on the spot without hesitation because around that time patient's heart is erratic and will go through Cardiac Arrest any moment. and if their equipment is near, could've done Defibrillation if they confirmed heart is beating is so fast.

[@viking956]

Hey wait. I got an idea. Just two thoughts. Well, just a little thinking out loud here but here goes: How about turn him over so you can verify a pulse and respiration and if absent begin CPR.....IMMEDIATELY! Secondly, as you're going to get a stretcher or to the sideline to get a towel, how about move your ass like someone's life depends on it. The casual, walk-in-the-park, nothing-to-see-here approach of these "first responders" is absolutely despicable. Not saying it would have made a difference. But in emergency situations, seconds do matter and so does perception. The perception here is these people genuinely didn't seem to care if this dude died or not.
