Question BEL spill: Lakeman 'critical but stable'

Has anyone heard how both Noberto Arroyo & Andrew Lakeman are after the spill in today's 4th race at Belmont?

Ouch. It's unfortunate that DaSilva made those comments on the show today.

Hope the kid pulls through.

He just said that Lakeman shouldn't ride a horse again. Bad timing is all.

I would be very careful drawing conclusions about prognosis based on the phrase "on life support"......

All this means is that Lakeman is being treated with hyperventilation. This is basic to treatment of all blunt head trauma cases as a first modality to lower the pressure in his head.

By breathing fast for him using a ventilator the blood vessels actually constrict thus taking up less room in his head which lowers the pressure TEMPORARILY in his head.

This is the first thing done in head trauma cases. The fact that he didn't go immediately to surgery is actually encouraging. If he was actively bleeding in his head a pressure monitor would be placed in the operating room to drain blood which apparently wasn't necessary by reports.

I will certainly say a prayer for him tonight myself as he is certainly critically ill but I wouldn't assume death is near unless more information is brought to light.

Please don't take the fact that he is intubated on a ventilator as any more than appropriate trauma treatment. This is one of the most commonly misunderstood issues in all of critical care medicine.

DD,

You certainly know more on how to interpret the info than us, so, 'from your mouth to G-d's ears' as we say...

I certainly do not want to imply that I KNOW this guys case but hopefully the usual standards of care will apply.

Please understand that I have no first hand knowledge of his moment to moment condition but can hopefully ease a few hearts about the info available.

Do you know for sure what hospital Lakeman is admitted to as the local hospital to the track is not a Level 1 trauma center which is where a case like this is normally taken once triaged appropriately.

Belmont jockys go to North Shore University Hospital and they do have a level 1 trauma center. I am not positive that he went there, but I'm pretty sure.

If I looked up the right place North Shore Long Island Jewish is a full service Level 1 trauma center so I stand corrected above.

So why were the jocks complaining last year about medical services or was that during the Aqueduct season?
