After the Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during Monday's football game, high school officials throughtout the area reiterated the importance of safety measures they have in place for athletic events.
Glenbrook South High School Athletic Director Tom Mietus thought two things as the Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin was being treated for cardiac arrest during Monday's football game in Cincinnati. Two, the importance of medical training and its swift application saved Hamlin's life.
Thanks to regulations at the state and school district levels, officials say proper procedures are in place. Statistics like that concern Chris Murphy, a longtime athletic trainer at Glenbard East High School in Lombard. But he and others at Glenbard East are ready if pressed into action. However, the Illinois High School Association website cited a 2012 study of the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine that said 72% of students who suffered from sudden cardiac arrest were reported by their parents to have experienced at least one symptom prior to the incident, but didn't see it as life threatening.
