Neither the police or the paramedics gave the chief resident information about Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck. This means the physicians had no idea an accurate length of time that blood flow to Floyd’s brain had been comprised. #ChauvinTrial
Physician who treated Floyd on the importance of immediate CPR: “Any amount of time a patient spends in cardiac arrest without immediate CPR markedly decreases the chance of a good outcome. Approx. 10-15% decrease in survival for every minute that CPR is not administered.”
By not immediately starting CPR or allowing bystanders to begin CPR, the officers decreased the chance of George Floyd’s survival - no matter the precipitating event.
Physician outlining the H’s and T’s or common reversible causes of cardiac arrest of people in PEA or asystole. One of the H’s = hypoxia (low oxygen).
Physician ticking off how they eliminated different H’s and T’s (causes of cardiac arrest). Calls “excited delirium” a controversial diagnosis. One symptom is sweating. Absence of report by paramedics of extreme agitation also ruled out excited delirium.
Physician, having run down the list of differentials, says most likely cause of Floyd’s cardiac arrest was hypoxia. Physician called TOD and stated most likely cause of Floyd’s cardiac arrest was oxygen deficiency. Another term for oxygen deficiency is asphyxia. #ChauvinTrial
Paramedics when handing off Floyd to the EU, did not give physician information that they thought he had OD’d or had a heart attack.
