Commotio cordis is a medical condition that occurs when the heart is suddenly and unexpectedly jarred or shocked, often as a result of a blunt impact to the chest. It can cause the heart to go into an abnormal rhythm, which can be life-threatening.
If a patient who experiences commotio cordis has their normal heart rhythm restored, it is still important for them to seek further medical attention as soon as possible. Even if the heart rhythm has returned to normal, the patient may still be at risk for complications or ongoing problems. It is important for the patient to be monitored and evaluated by a healthcare professional to ensure that there are no underlying issues or complications that need to be addressed.
As for the second part of your question, it is not normal for a patient to cease breathing for 9 minutes. If a patient stops breathing for that long, it is a medical emergency and immediate resuscitation efforts should be started. Prolonged lack of oxygen can cause serious damage to the brain and other organs, and can be life-threatening. If a patient experiences a cessation of breathing, they should receive medical attention as soon as possible.
