Jens Kleinefeld said that the defibrillator was used after a few minutes of continuous heart massage: they were decisive maneuvers to revive the Inter midfielder who woke up “about 30 seconds later”. The doctor’s words: “It was a very moving moment because the chances of being successful in a rescue of this type, in everyday situations, are not so high”, then specifying that “this type of treatment works more in athletes. healthy professionals versus patients who often have pre-existing conditions “. Eriksen then remained conscious all the way from the pitch to the changing rooms and then to the hospital with Kleinefeld who at that point calmed down: “I was 99 percent sure that he would arrive at the hospital in stable condition”.
