Hughie said she was knocked out, not Jayne or the medics. Jayne was in a panic and flustered before she started the task.
Having a panic attack, being hit in the head, something catching your neck, falling into a cold pool, is enough to shake anyone up.

That's pretty much how I interpreted what happened too Sassy.
The sponge hit her helmet, slightly forced the helmet higher up her head and 'tightened' the strap into her throat/neck.
She definitely WAS suppressing irrational fear prior to stepping onto the 'bridge' so I believe it WAS a panic attack.
I do not believe that she ever lost consciousness because she was 'treading and paddling' the water, but - as you say - she NEVER claimed as much, and it WAS Hughie who shouted; "She's been knocked out".
No hospital will release any A & E patient until they are certain that it is safe to do so, and it is almost certain - with lawsuits in mind - that the BB producers will have been 'over-cautious' in ensuring that WAS the case with the 49 year old, slightly built and fragile Jayne, so 5 hours including 'round trip' travel time, is not particularly significant.
