Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Based on what I have read (massive heart attack, 10 minutes without breathing,) I'd say it's very unlikely she will recover, unfortunately. At best, I think with that type of cardiac arrest, she will have severe brain damage and not be in any condition to ever act again, but I think that's optimistic. Of course, I am wishing her well.

Giftheck 917 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 It all depends... five minutes can seem like an eternity to somebody witnessing something like this so it's possible that the given figure of ten minutes is a panic-induced exaggeration. It sounds like CPR was administered as soon as the crew were alerted so that would improve her chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 True, that's possible. It's all speculation at this point. Still, given what we have heard, I'd say a full recovery is not likely at this point. She'll be lucky to not have severe brain damage or brain death. Even 5 minutes is a terrible amount of time not to breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 My dad has had several heart attacks over the last decade and is still ticking. The last one was in 2013 when he went into cardiac arrest in the ambulance. After they revived him, he was in hospital for a week and needed a defibrillator installed in his chest.

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I have also had family suffer cardiac arrest, for a shorter period of time than Fisher, and they suffered brain death. I hope it ends up more like your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karelm 2,915 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Just a note, she is now in stable condition which means the vital signs such as pulse, temperature and blood pressure are stable and within normal limits.

crumbs 14,319 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 It doesn't sound positive at all, that report about her stable condition appears to be a misquote. Quote ET Canada has learned that Carrie Fisher suffered a heart attack on a plane on Friday. Todd Fisher, Carrie’s brother, has since shared the actor’s condition. “There really is not much to say. She is in the intensive care unit, she is being well looked after. If everyone could just pray for her that would be good. The doctors are doing their thing and we don’t want to bug them. We are waiting by patiently.” He also addressed an earlier comment attributed to him, in which he was alleged to have said his sister was in “stable condition.” “I don’t know where they got that word from. That is absolutely not even close to the truth. We don’t know. We hope for the best. We certainly do not know her condition, that’s why she is in ICU. I’m sure everyone wants to speculate but now is not the time for that.” http://etcanada.com/news/190820/carrie-fisher-suffers-massive-heart-attack-on-plane/ Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I would also point out that even if they had said she was "stable," that doesn't necessarily mean she is doing well. You can be stable and still be brain dead or in critical condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,319 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I'm guessing she would only be on a ventilator because her body isn't breathing for her... could it be less severe than that, precautionary? Just ensuring her breathing remains stable overnight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't see the point in extreme pessismism and creating this doomed scenario (which I got from some of the responses above). In fact, that would be considered rather rude over here. I'll let the doctors and Fisher do what they can, staying cautiously optimistic, and then I'll take further bad news if and only if it comes.
