Sad news

 

[Ceryndrion]

Statement from her mother says that her condition is now stable, and they will let people know if anything changes..

So thats good.. I think

If she was not breathing for 10 minutes, am I right in thinking that brain damage is almost a certainty? If so, a full recovery looks unlikely.

I hope she makes it.
I was looking through the George Michael thread, when Carrie Fisher's name came up.

Saying she's in a stable condition now. Could be positive.

 

[Participant]

she got lucky, there was a doc and nurse onboard and 15min to land, otherwise it may have gone really bad.

It's airline policy for there to be now.

Not a doctor per se but medically trained personnel.

If CPR was being administered during those 10mins then the risk of brain damage is greatly reduced.

Pretty high likelihood of multiple broken ribs though. Ouch.

I'm happy to hear that.

I hope she pulls through this.

So good to see this update. Fingers crossed. Come on 2016. You've taken enough, let us keep this one

That doesn't really tell us anything though, it could just mean she's stable on life support, which is more than likely after a cardiac arrest.

I doubt her mother would report on anything if her condition was that serious.

yup, fingers crossed... especially hopeful as it was thankfully a medically trained person on board

Non of you even know her....why getting so worked up...
Do you feel bad for the person who just died...and this one...and that one...oh another every single second?

Not at all a certainty.

I've had people back after 90 mins of CPR without lasting injury.

The adult guys do head cooling/body cooling too which has improved their outcomes.

With really effective CPR like with the thumper robot thing people have started to regain consciousness despite not having a beating heart.

 

[Dis86]

I know a guy who worked on his own dad for forty minutes. Recovered with no lasting damage at all.
