Two Bills Drive

‘”When the heart stops beating whether it be because of a very fast heart rate or a very slow heart rate. So, essentially the amount of blood being pumped out of the heart essentially drops to very small amounts,” he said.’

‘The game was first suspended and then postponed after Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the field on Monday night. The Bills announced Hamlin spent the night in the intensive care unit at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and remains there Tuesday in critical condition.’

‘”We pray for every doctor, every nurse, every single person that will touch his body today,” said Jill Kelly, speaker at the community prayer. “Lord, that you would give them wisdom and discernment. That you would reach in to the situation through their hands that you would use them to save this man.”‘

‘Glenn confirmed to the NFL Network that Hamlin is still on a ventilator. But he is now only using 50% oxygen from the ventilator. Whereas last night he needed 100% oxygen.’

‘“When somebody goes into cardiac arrest it means their heart has stopped beating. It’s usually caused by an electrical malfunction of some kind — something that causes the heart to go out of rhythm and stop beating,” Lisa Neff, senior community impact director, American Heart Association, Buffalo.’

‘Fans left flowers outside of the hospital in a show of support for the Bills safety after he was injured during Monday Night Football as he tried to tackle Tee Higgins during the first quarter of the game. He stood up moments later and then immediately fell back to the ground.’
