Fabrice Muamba - Spurs vs Bolton
« on: March 17, 2012, 12:24:17 PM »
Went down in the Bolton-Spurs game with some sort of serious problem.
You can tell how bad it is b/c no replays or close-ups are being shown. The looks on the faces of the players and people in the stands says a lot.

We can only hope and pray that Muamba recovers.

Game suspended, due to Fabrice Muamba being stretchered off after 15 minutes of treatment, with the medics seemingly still trying to resuccitate him. He collapsed off the ball without being challenged. The cameras were staying away, but I suspect he had either had an epileptic fit or a heart attack. Really hope it's not the latter.  :(

Doesn't look good at all, they were working on him a very long time, can't see how the game can seriously continue, hope he's OK.

ESPN confirmed he was not breathing when they brought him off, which was at least 10 minutes after they started working on him...geez.

Watching it live I thought maybe just a bad blow to the head but when you saw Gallas crying and VDV in total shock and not to mention people in the crowd in tears I had a sickening feeling that he was gone.. 

This is real sad, I feel sick actually... Hoping he pulls through but it looks very unlikely according to the reports

I suspect it was heart related....I would be speculating but I think he developed an arrhythmia ( possibly as a result of pre-existing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy  (enlarged heart) ) then subsequently went in to cardiac arrest.

Listening to 5 Live Radio...a fan who was at the game said that a cardiologist Spurs supporter ran onto the pitch from the stands and joined the medical team. The hospital is also very close by.

Still no statements though, very sad.

Was watching the game live and im guessing the cameras didnt pick up when he went down as they just pan to the crowd...

Watching the reactions of the fans and players from both teams was horrific.. I really hope he pulls through. This really sour the weekend.

One question, is he a player that had heart issues in the past? Somehow i remembering a Bolton player having tests done, or was that Meite?

There is a clip of him as the first medic gets to him, but tbf ESPN said he was in a bad way and that the camera's wouldn't be going anywhere near him.

Great news that he is stable, just shows you 23, big strong lad and no doubt quite often has monitors on him for heart rate etc. during training, so can happen to anyone.  Depends what is up with him, but could easily finish him with football, decent player aswell, hope he keeps improving.

Not your fault Sky have changed the Yellow Ticker which has been saying "stable" for a good while to Critical, found it strange BBC were saying no news on 9.00 news, sky shouldn't run that without being absolutely 100%.  Sounds like he is far from out of the woods.

Fabrice Muamba remains in critical condition in intensive care

Bolton's Fabrice Muamba is critically ill and will remain in intensive care until at least Monday morning.

The midfielder, 23, was taken to London Chest Hospital's heart attack centre after suffering a cardiac arrest during Saturday's FA Cup tie at Tottenham.

A joint statement from the club and hospital on Sunday at 1100 GMT said: "Fabrice Muamba remains in a critical condition in intensive care.

"As is normal, he remains anaesthetised and will be for at least 24 hours."

The statement added: "Fabrice received prolonged resuscitation at the ground and on route to The London Chest Hospital, where his heart eventually started working. His condition continues to be closely monitored by the cardiac specialists."

Bolton manager Owen Coyle said: "Fabrice's family have asked me to pass on their thanks for the many, many kind messages of support from not only Bolton fans but also fans from clubs across the country and abroad.

"All our thoughts and prayers are for Fabrice and his family at this time. The family would also like to thank the media for respecting their privacy at this time."

Coyle had earlier stated: "It's very serious. There's no getting away from that. God willing, he makes it through."

Bolton's Premier League game at Aston Villa on Tuesday night has been postponed.

Medics spent six minutes trying to resuscitate the former England under-21 international on the White Hart Lane pitch after he fell to the ground with no other players around him.

n a statement released on Sunday Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: "Our thoughts are with Fabrice's family and Bolton Wanderers, and we are all willing him to pull through. Events such as this put everything into perspective.

"We are immensely proud and grateful to the medical teams at both clubs, their response was immediate and professional. Our thanks also to both sets of fans for their support and behaviour.

"Too often we read the negatives about football and yet last night, at a time of intense emergency and uncertainty, we saw the true humanity and empathy of the footballing family."

Manager Harry Redknapp said: "All our thoughts are with Fabrice, his family, Owen Coyle and the club. It was the right decision to abandon the game - everybody was in a state of shock and it wouldn't have been right to carry on.

"Football is the last thing on anyone's mind when an awful situation such as this happens. All we are thinking about now is Fabrice and his family."

Members of Muamba's family and his fiancee attended the hospital on Saturday night.

Medical staff gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Muamba, who was born in Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo) but moved to England aged 11, and tried to revive him with a defibrillator.

In total, six medics were treating the player, who joined Wanderers from Birmingham in 2008 and has made 148 appearances for the club.

Both sets of supporters chanted Muamba's name as he was taken off the pitch on a stretcher. ESPN, who were broadcasting the match, reported that he was not breathing as he was taken into the tunnel.

Referee Howard Webb called the visibly shaken players off the field after consulting with Coyle and Redknapp.

After Muamba had been taken to hospital, the match was abandoned.

The former Arsenal midfielder was accompanied in the ambulance by Coyle and club captain Kevin Davies.

Football Focus presenter Dan Walker had an exchange of text messages with Davies on Saturday evening.

"Encouragingly, he [Davies] said Fabrice is showing real fight which is the best possible news," Walker said.

"Kevin says he is not giving up and he's digging in and showing a bit of battle.

"The fact they got him breathing again makes you marvel at the work these paramedics, doctors and nurses do."

BBC Radio 5 live's chief football reporter Ian Dennis, who was covering the game at White Hart Lane, witnessed medics rushing to aid Muamba.

"When the medical staff arrived his face was on the turf," he said.

"You could see them using a defibrillator and he was [electronically] charged on at least two occasions. Everyone could see Fabrice Muamba was fighting for his life.

"If he does pull through it will be down to the quick actions of the medics."

Cech's injury has made our game safer, let's hope that will help save Fabrice
By MATT LAWTON
PUBLISHED: 18:45 EST, 18 March 2012
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2116875/Fabrice-Muamba-news-Petr-Cech-injury-game-safer.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
 
The high level of emergency medical care Fabrice Muamba received at White Hart Lane was the result of measures the Premier League put in place after Petr Cech suffered his serious head injury in 2006.

The medical teams from both Tottenham and Bolton received praise for the treatment they administered during those shocking scenes, as did the match officials.

Quote
Bolton star got best possible medical care
White Hart Lane was well equipped to deal with Saturday’s incident:

Both clubs had a doctor on the bench. They were both wearing earpieces allowing them to communicate with the touchline so equipment could be asked for quickly.

An additional doctor was in the stadium, primarily to look after problems with the crowd.

Both clubs’ physios were trained in resuscitation, as were three others from Spurs’ medical team.

Two paramedics were pitchside.

There were two ambulances for the exclusive use of the players, one from St John and the other one paid for privately by Tottenham.

The Tottenham doctor carried a second defibrillator in his bag in case there was a problem with the first.
 
As well as the mandatory medical equipment, Spurs had on hand an additional resuscitation bag.



Referee Howard Webb was relieved of his fourth official duties at Wolves on Sunday. As senior refereeing official Dermot Gallagher said, it helped enormously that Webb and fourth official Chris Foy are police officers.

But the level of care Muamba received from medical staff owed much to the way the Premier League reacted to the Cech incident at Reading.

Jose Mourinho, then the Chelsea manager, criticised the Berkshire ambulance service by complaining of the delays in taking Cech to hospital when he had suffered a fractured skull.

‘There are some things that leave me in a very emotional situation,’ said Mourinho. ‘My goalkeeper was waiting for an ambulance for 30 minutes.

This is something English football has to think about. This is much more important than football.’

Chelsea made an official complaint that led to a Premier League and FA review. As a result the following measures were introduced:

  • An ambulance must be located at the ground for exclusive use of players.
  • Each club must have their doctor at Premier League games.
  • The doctor must be seated on the trainers’ bench.
  • All doctors and physiotherapists must complete AREA (Advanced Resuscitation and Emergency Aid) training course.
  • At least two paramedics must be available pitchside to deal with on-field emergencies.
  • The home club must provide the away club with a medical information sheet containing key contact numbers and the location of nearest hospital.
  • Home club must have available mandatory medical equipment as prescribed by Premier League.
  • Annual medical examinations must be carried out on all players.

The Premier League declined the opportunity to comment on Sunday, rightly leaving it to officials at Bolton to provide updates on their  ex-England Under 21 midfielder’s situation.

But after the incident Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: ‘We would like to praise the players, match officials, staff and medical teams of both clubs for their swift actions in attending to Fabrice.’
