Getty ImagesThe head coach of the Uzbekistan Olympic boxing team has been saved by two members of Team GB’s health team.
Hasanboy Dusmatov, a Uzbek boxer, was celebrating a silver medal with Tulkin Kilichev when he went into cardiac arrest in the warm-up area of Roland Garros in Paris on August 8th.
When Robbie Lillis and his partner Dr. Harj Singh arrived at the scene and said there was” a cry for a doctor,” they ran over to do CPR and use a device.
According to reports, Mr. Kilochev is in a robust hospital bed.
Before Mr. Lillis heard shouting from the warm-up area that did n’t make sense, he claimed the coaching team of Uzbekistan were celebrating Dusmatov’s gold medal in the 51kg category.
” There was a cry for a physician, for help. He told the PA information company,” I followed with the crisis injury case that we carry with us, and Harj was the first one to respond.”
The chiropractor claimed to have reached Mr. Kilichev” about 30 seconds after Harj,” who had already begun performing CPR, a lifesaving process that occurs when a person’s heart stops beating.
It took us a moment to” clear all of the coaches ‘ faces,” he said,” and quite a few of them were pretty clearly distressed by the entire situation.”
Mr Lillis said he used a defibrillator on Mr Kilichev, which gives a jolt of energy to the heart to help restore a normal heartbeat.
” Initially he did n’t come back but, about 20 to 30 seconds later, after Harj continued doing CPR, all of a sudden he came back conscious with us, which was great”.
ReutersMr. Kilichev was taken to the hospital where the venue’s health team arrived shortly after, and he is now said to be in a stable condition.
Mr. Lillis expressed his hope for a “full treatment” from the Uzbekistan boxing coach.
” I’m very, very proud that we did have all the gear on us, and myself and Harj being there and being trained”, he said.
‘ That’s your Olympian time’
Following the incident, Mr. Lillis admitted that he had no trouble sleeping on Thursday evening.
He said,” It was obviously a little rush of excitement at the time that it was sort of managing the situation.” ” I’m certainly appreciative of helping someone survive,” I said.
Mr Lillis said his dad told him” that’s your Olympian time”.
” It’s something obviously I’ll definitely remember, I do n’t think I’m going to be forgetting that any time soon.”
Mr Singh, who also teaches prior hospital emergency knowledge, said that the position” puts things into perspective”.
” At some level we will venture to go to the clinics,” the doctor said”. I believe it would be very personal for both of us if it were to be planned.
What are the symptoms of heart imprisonment?
A cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood round the body, according to the British Heart Foundation.
The NHS lists the signs someone has gone into cardiac arrest as:
- they are not moving
- they are not responding to any excitement, such as being touched or spoken to
- they appear not to be breathing
