- Опубликовано: 9 янв 2015
- Wearable technology allows a 24-year-old University of Michigan Health System patient with a total artificial heart to wait at home for a heart transplant. It's the latest milestone in efforts to replace the failing heart as heart disease rises, and donor hearts remain scarce. www.umcvc.org
Just in case anybody is wondering, he lived with his artificial heart for 555 days and finally received his new heart in 2016.
Okay thats a massive relife he seems very nice and even if only met him for 1 muinute i felt bad for him and he saw the bright side that just kinda broke my heart
Thank you! I’m so happy for him and wish him happiness
Am i the only one that's freakin terrified by the sound?
That sound saved that mans life.
Yes it did but that doesn’t change that it is a bit off putting.
It is just a machine pumping air
Sander, You're not the only one, that sound scares me to death! Sounds exactly like the vintage Jarvick 7' Big Blue compressor, back then, I remember losing sleep terrifyed by the noises of that machine after seeing that thing on a TV show.
Sander Van marle wow it has a sound? Cool
I would get so nervous by that pumping sound. Humans truly are amazing.
I don't know why, that sound scares me to death! Sounds exactly like the vintage Jarvick 7' Big Blue compressor, back then, I remember losing sleep terrifyed by the noises of that machine after seeing that thing on a TV show.
yep
I get nervous by the actual heart sound too because a patient whom I measured his blood pressure frequently died after increasing hypertension when I was 16 at health high school.
Be strong, man
God Bless these Doctors,Engineers and Patient.
Good luck bud....friend of mine is going thru this as I write this! Hope everything goes well for you! God Bless!
Even thought this is a good news, I feel sorry for him, I wish him best recovery
Simply Amazing. I would be very afraid, but it's astonishing to see how much modern medicine has come. Wow.
imagine being on the subway and you constantly hear that sound
Definitely more worthwhile news than hearing about the latest with the Kardashians! :-)
modern medicine is truly one of the greatest unman achievement ever
Medicine? No. Technology, yes
Don't forget to change/charge the battery! Kidding...praying you receive a transplant soon.🙏
For him the fear must be to encounter an armed crackhead threatening him to handover his backpack.
He was in Ann Arbor, not Detroit. BWA HA HA!
@@brandystanner8915 you both are ignorant.
@@B_Dallas_Michael it's not ignorant. i am a recovering drug addict and even i understand that certain addicts and even non addicts rob people all the time. it's not mean to state the truth lol i mean robbery happens so much in our country and Detroit does have a lot of crime it doesn't mean everyone from there is a drug addict or criminal though.
To this day i strongly agree
That was an eval thing to say
Very cool, and great story!
I would be fucking terrified to rely on that motor in a backpack to survive.
*Battery* *Warning*
5% of battery remaining.
Just strap a tesla powerwall to your back
Stay strong ✊🏿
Dudes killing it
Astonishing
Is the box the battery pack and if so could one be built into a car or a pull cart to allow outings. I know if this was me I would not mind pulling a cart with a battery, one that may have an electric motor of its own to make walking easier. Also can these hearts be permanent. I remember the Jarvic 7 years ago and am wondering how much better these new ones are?
Here's a story on Stan Larkin dated in 2021 -- it won't link so just do a search for his name or " Man Lived For 555 Days Without A Heart." I can't find anything more recent, but God willing he's doing well.
keep us updated! I wanna know when this guy gets his new HEART !
He lived with his artificial heart for 555 days until receiving his new heart at the age of 25 in 2016
Does anyone know how this man is doing today?
Consider me stupid, but why do we not have a fully mechanically pump to replace the heart? Obviously it needs to be a variable pump but is there a way to monitor breathing to adjust the heart rate? We have so much technology, I feel like we should have these things already
Couldn't you block out the sound though?
Talk about a product that needs absolute reliability.
This is scary.
God be with you man!
Is this something that can be used permanently?
Now it is 2022, Is there any update about him? Is he okey now? How long he had to keep that artificial heart inside him?
Need help my son's Heart is getting weaker, he's 16 yrs old we are from the Philippines 🙏
What do you expect the RUclips comments section to do about it?
I'm grateful I need not be in his situation.
While this machine is attached, does he have a pulse?
No, not at all. The "heartrate" is displayed at the freedom driver
A man with an artificial heart can almost extend his life to 100 years. Not sure about that.
May God add more wisdom to the scientists and doctors... This is amazing
Is he alright now?
اللهم لك الحمد على الصحه والعافيه
استغفر الله واتوب اليه
good and amazing.
wow its like portable dialysis
I'd rather be dead than hear that terrible sound every day and night. The sounds made by various medical devices, in particular various pumps, are my greatest fear. This is what I fear most in hospitals. I remember the fear of an infusion pump standing next to me giving a drip after surgery. The display glowing at night and the pumping sound made me unable to sleep.
U of M: I want to show this to my students but I cannot because there is no closed captioning. Please consider this for future educational videos.
You can still recommend it too them
I would be sooo scared... like what if something happened and it got disconnected or... like a little kid is playing around and cuts the wire or something... would that kill him instantly??? Man that's scary and risky asf... but this is amazing.
Carl Johnson Depends on his body temperature, but a a regular day he would die in under 8min.
Shit that is amazing but also terrifying at the same time. I’d be shitting myself that it would break or just stop working 😐 I wouldn’t leave the house! Anyway, god bless bruvva 👊🏻
What happens if one of these tubes plugs off 🤔
💙💙💙💙
It would be interesting if they could attach a artificial heart to a damaged heart and the damaged heart repairs itself while the artificial heart is doing the job of damaged heart
It would make more sense to attach that to his damaged heart and keep both of them in hopes the artificial heart would give the damaged heart a chance to heal
There is a device for that, it's called a ventricular assist device
wdym heart is a blood vessel.
There is an autonomous heart, his name is carmat. Go see it's a revolution
if he drops the machine he dies?
any update?
He received his new heart this month. Here is a link to the video: ruclips.net/video/EyzrqeWJR0s/видео.html
Can it decides the death
I never know the artificial heart
They need to work on the sound and limit the tubing but this is a great step forward.
Twisted86 Limiting the tubing would probably be a bad thing. Think about when your phone needs charging, you have a charger and a power point, but your charger lead won't reach. So you have to get on the floor instead of being able to sit on your bed/sit on a chair while it's charging. That's kind of a bad example but I hope you get what I mean - Getting rid of the tubes would be a hassle in the long run because he wouldn't be able to put it on that table like in this video.
Repo Men. American dream?
how does it work? I don't see blood in the tubes
Good question frankinshtein. The short story: Stan has a total artificial heart implanted in his chest. Two tubes run outside his body and connect to the backpack-sized device which acts as a compressor to keep blood moving through his body. Rather than blood, there's compressed air in those tubes.
cyber punk 99 customize your heart
Yeh
Imagine walking and getting those pipes ripped on something
can we not grow human hearts
Why not?
UBERCHARGE ME,DOC.
You would definitely want to be in good graces with your electric company if you have one if these lmao
A power disconnection or blackout could literally kill you
you should change your pfp now
@@Kang8925 no
Thnx to Allah
