Glenn Hoddle update

[Lighthouse]

Sorry cannot find the original post about this. But here is an update and some good news.



Glenn Hoddle is sitting up and talking to his family following the heart attack he suffered on Saturday, his 61st birthday.

Hoddle, the former England player and manager, is out of intensive care having undergone surgery over the weekend after collapsing and cracking his head in the BT Sport studios, just minutes after playing keepy-uppies live on Robbie Savage's show, Saturday Morning Sav.

Nice to have some good news, he's lucky to have survived by the sounds of things.

Great news!

Pleased to hear it - steady recovery glen.

Good to hear. Shall we all commit to learning how to use a defibrillator? It's not that hard but summoning up the gonads to fire it up is.



That came across a tad aggressive. Having a go at taking one off a wall, setting it up and practice on a dummy or similar as offered on a number of courses will inspire the confidence to be the one that's needed when the worst happens.

Glenn was lucky that a cameraman in the studio knew how to do CPR. Good to hear he is talking to his family again.

Well said. CPR is simple and using a defib is simple too. Hospitals/GP surgeries have information on voluntary groups that provide Basic Life Support training to anyone interested.
The more people who do it, the more chance people will get a chance to survive sudden cardiac events.
Glenn Hoddle would be dead if that cameraman hadn"t taken the time to learn the basic skills required to keep someone alive before paramedic help arrives.
When your heart stops , you've got about 4 mins, and no ambulance is coming that quick.

Very well said Statto

Defibrillators tell you what to do when you open them. You just follow the recipe. Actually not all cardiac arrests are shockable anyway - and often CPR is the key until help arrives.

You have to be careful where you use a defib and what on

Incorrect a defibrillator you find in the public is an aed (automatic defibrillator) it will only shock someone if they are in a shockable heart rhythm it cannot shock someone who doesn't need it. They are self explanatory and talk to you telling you what to do etc

yep and after that, it will require you to do cpr, which is bloody hard after a minute

When I had training we were told to make sure people didn't have metal in the way eg  bra wire or you were on a wet surface or it could result in a burn. Also generally best if there is one person doing the shock and another foing the CPR in between.
