Denmark's Christian Eriksen suffered cardiac arrest, was 'gone' before resuscitation - team doctor

https://www.espn.com/soccer/denmark-den/story/4407267/denmarks-christian-eriksen-gone-before-cardiac-resuscitation-team-doctor

Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen was "gone" before he was resuscitated after suffering a cardiac arrest, the team's doctor, Morten Boesen, said in a news conference Sunday.

Eriksen, 29, is in a stable condition after he was taken to a hospital in Copenhagen on Saturday after he collapsed on the pitch during Denmark's Euro 2020 opener against Finland.

"He was gone, and we did cardiac resuscitation. It was a cardiac arrest," Boesen said. "How close were we [to losing Eriksen]? I don't know.

"We got him back after one defibrillator, so that's quite fast. I'm not a cardiologist, so the details I will leave to the experts at the hospital."

1. What a stupid headline, it leaves the impression he didn't survive, which isn't true. Do these

so-called journalists takes courses in communication?

[Maraya1969]

2. That's what I thought.

[JohnSJ]

3. The headline is intentionally misleading

[Maraya1969]

10. That pisses me off even more. A way to get you to read something by being misleading.

[LisaL]

27. It's not misleading. His heart stopped.

During the period of time his heart wasn't beating, he was gone.

6. Resuscitation is reviving someone after apparent unconsciousness or death.

So it seems accurate to me, if redundant.

[JohnSJ]

7. The headline he was gone before resuscitation is not ambiguous to you?

He was GONE before resuscitation

[WhiskeyGrinder]

8. You can't resuscitate someone who isn't gone, literally or hyperbolically.

[JohnSJ]

11. That wasn't my question. Do you think the headline was clear?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. Yes.

[karynnj]

19. It depends on the meaning readers give to gone. I think many take it as final

Looking at the article the word was a quote from the team doctor, but it might have been better to use a less flashy, but accurate headline.

Your correct point that you do not resuscitate someone who is conscious points to the problem in the headline. It would have made more sense to say he suffered a cardiac arrest, but was resuscitated. This captures the seriousness with both facts.

I hope that he regains his health completely.

[Disaffected]

18. The headline is correct but

only for a very limited definition of "gone". Most folks would (reasonably) interpret the headline as meaning he died before resuscitation could revive him.

[JohnSJ]

20. once you read the body of the article, not from the headline.

[brooklynite]

15. Perfectly reasonable headline...

People know he survived the collapse; the headline frames how serious the situation was.

If he’d been jogging alone in the woods and that happened, he’d be dead.

16. Perfectly reasonable headline...

People know he survived the collapse; the headline frames how serious the situation was.

If he’d been jogging alone in the woods and that happened, he’d be dead.

[Renew Deal]

17. He had no pulse.

The headline is fine.

[JohnSJ]

21. The headline didn't say "he had no pulse", the headline said he was GONE

[Renew Deal]

23. He was gone

And they got him back.

[LisaL]

25. He was gone. His heart wasn't beating.

For a period of time, until it was restarted. I don't understand what your objection is.

[JohnSJ]

28. Using the word gone, I read as he died before they were able to get to resuscitate him

Obviously most people think I am full of it, and the headline was crystal clear

and that is fine

[LisaL]

24. His heart stopped, so during that time he was "temporarily dead" until his heart was

restarted.

[JohnSJ]

29. "temporarily dead" instead of "gone" would seem to make more sense to me

even using no pulse, heart stopped, etc. The word "gone" implies to me, dead

[ornotna]

4. That's the end of his career

He won't be allowed to play again.

14. Texting with friends as this was going on, one mentioned Hank Gathers

Hank died at the age of 23.

[LisaL]

22. I am assuming it depends on what caused the cardiac arrest.

5. I was watching that game

I thought he was really gone. It was hard to watch. You could see them doing chest compressions for a long time and I saw him spasm when they shocked him. I was shocked when they showed him awake on the stretcher.

Learn CPR people. It can save a life

And before any rumors start, his team doctor already said he never had Covid

[JohnSJ]

9. Absolutely, you can get enough blood circulating to sustain viability until defibrillation for quite

some time

[underpants]

12. Yep. " Staying Alive"

104 beats per minute that’s the pace for compressions. No assisted breathing is necessary anymore but if you can or if there is anyone else there give it a shot.

108 beats is actually preferable but that’s the count on “Another One Bites the Dust” AC/DC so they use The Bee Gees song as the standard.

And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

[Nevilledog]

26. Qnutters are saying this happened because he got the vaccine.

Of course, it's complete fabrication.

[LisaL]

30. He might have not been vaccinated at all.

"“He didn’t have COVID and wasn’t vaccinated either,” he told Rai Sport.He said Eriksen was under the guidance of the Danish medical staff and it was for them to release information but Inter had been in touch with them."
