A New Orleans doctor and the New Orleans Saints airway management physician spoke with WDSU’s Travers Mackel about the situation Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin is facing after collapsing in gameplay Monday night. Dr. Jeffrey Kuo says every NFL team has an airway management physician, or an AMP, on the field. The position is a requirement for situations similar to what happened to Hamlin. Hamlin remains in critical condition after suffering cardiac arrest. Kuo says physicians train for this exact moment, and in his 12 years of working with the Saints, he says he hasn’t seen a more serious situation than what happened to Hamlin.
