Hamlin remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, according to a statement from the Bills.
Damar Hamlin’s family said on Wednesday morning that the Bills safety was only resuscitated once, after reports circulated the previous night that he stopped breathing twice.
Dorrian Glenn, Hamlin’s uncle, also previously said Hamlin has lung damage but called it “a good sign” that Hamlin is breathing using only 50 percent of a ventilator, down from 100 percent Monday, according to a report.

“(Hamlin’s representative) Jordon [Rooney] also clarified (on behalf of the family) that there may have been some miscommunications in terms of the number of times Damar Hamlin was resuscitated. There was only one instance at Paycor Stadium.”
Board-certified cardiologist Dr. Marc Cohen — who is not involved in Hamlin’s care — told The Post that there is a vulnerable period within each minute-long cardiac cycle that lasts only a few milliseconds, when the heart is most susceptible to degeneration from a sudden physical impact.

“That hit had to occur at a certain point in time that was only five milliseconds long."

“If that hit occurred one millisecond after or before, this may not have happened.”
