Our brains run at 11 MHz? Not mine. I overclock it with Adderall.
Adderall does not overclock, Adderall puts a program in the background to keep your CPU busy so it doesn't go seeking for stimulation. If anything Adderall slows down the processor so it is able to focus a little more on one thing

Back in the early days of the pandemic, I found my mom unresponsive in her bedroom. She was breathing just like the people in the video and her pulse was weak, I immediately called 911 and cried all the way to the hospital. It was the scariest moment of my life, she’s alive now, but she never was the same afterwards.
Yoo don't hate but im curious about what happened afterwards
Brain damage I assume. A lack of oxygen can do it within minutes.@@rafnael8807
@@rafnael8807possibly brain damage, but that’s a stretch.
Wellness to you all. 😔
@@thelastunderscore1491That’s not a stretch AT ALL. That would be the reason she wasn’t “the same”
I found a homeless guy sleeping like this in a field one day and I completely thought he was dead. Kept probing for a pulse and he wouldn't wake up when I would rub/shake his chest. Then he suddenly startled up and smiled at me. Guess he was okay... Likely drug use.
scary! sounds like a somewhat happy ending
@@barb0za0 It wasn't.
@@billbauer9795 how do you know that?
Sorry about that. I was really high. Thanks for checking on me tho.
he probably wasn't agonal breathing. he was prbably just hi gh
this NEEDS to be shown to more people. when i was 13 i heard my dad breathing like this from the other room. i thought he was snoring. eventually i realized it wasn't snoring, but it was too late. he died of a heart attack that night, he was only 43.
Oh no, i hope u know his death wasnt your fault and i doubt he would want you to feel that it was.
I hope u have healed as much as one can from losing a parent so young.
Sorry you went through that.
I lost my dad to a heart attack when he was 75. Not as young as your father, but I know how horrible it is. I hope you are doing well.
I'm so sorry. What an awful, traumatic experience. I hope you're doing ok now.

I discovered a man on the ground next to a dog and basketball. The guy was obviously out to shoot hoops but he was on the ground and making those noises. I overcame my being grossed out and employed CPR methods. His lungs were filled with liquid, like blowing into balloons filled with goo. I managed to get him breathing but he was brain dead. EMT showed up and took him away. They ended up harvesting some organs and that was it. I've encountered similarly macabre situations a number of times. Not fun.

@@justinklenk Thanks man, I'm fine. I have big respect for EMS workers that face that situation many times each day.

What happened to the dog?
@FlyGuy2000 also curious
If you’ve ever worked with hospice patients, this is a key sign of the end. I noticed it in a patient once and notified her family that was sitting outside of her room that they should go inside because I thought it was time. She died a few minutes later. Her daughter thanked me for alerting them so they could be with her and she wanted to know how I could tell. I told her it was how she was breathing.
Recently I tried to warm up a newborn lamb who was unresponsive and cold. The lamb was snoring, now it seems like it was agonal breathing
EMT here, I've seen agonal breathing multiple times. It's not always a snoring pattern
Same here. I’ve not encountered agonal breathing with snoring yet, all of them were gasps like a fish gupping for air. I feel like to get snoring, you need a deeper inspiration than agonal breathing provides.
Yes, I should've said gasping instead
Gasping is definitely more like it, not snoring. In fact, a lot of times it sounds like the movie trope sound of a character suddenly waking up from being knocked out, in a coma, or outright dead, just kinda cut off instead of drawn out like holleywood does it. Add some phlegm and sometimes gurgles and... well, we know.
Every medical type thing needs an open and intuitive mind. Your one in probably 50 who knows that. Right on. Keep learning and thinking.
Yo, I have a question.
Currently a teenager considering going into medical stuff and im wondering how much schooling you need as an EMT? I know of most of the things and certifications you need but is there any certain classes I'd need?
I witnessed this when my dad had his massive heart attack. I was on him moments after he dropped and immediately began chest compressions with 911 on speaker. He survived. He shouldn't have but did with all his facilities intact. Really scary to witness.
Edit: At the time, I told the dispatcher that he was "guppying" which is a term I learned from my dad who was an EMT. I didn't know what it was called but I knew it wasn't good.
This video is currently 3 weeks old. My dog died just over a month ago. She had been panting then dropped to the ground and started agonal breathing. Oh boi seems the universe wants me to learn a bit about it ;-; (she had symptomless metastatic hemangiosarcoma. A tumor on her heart had ruptured and she was panting because of internal blood loss into her pericardium. It was always going to be game over no matter what, that type of cancer always wins. I miss her but getting the necropsy & knowing that helps a lot. We all did our best)
I hope to never witness this kind of breathing. It sounds nothing short of horrifying after you watch a few videos out there.
Your chances of seeing this kind of breathing in regular day to day is quite low. For someone to have agonal breathing means it’s an emergency of some sort, either induced from a medical issue or trauma. I’ve always thought agonal breathing looks akin to a fish out of water gupping for air. In an emergency setting you ignore it as if they weren’t breathing at all and provide ventilations, or prepare to do CPR.
I watched my late husband’s “death rattle”; I had seen it before, working in assisted living, so I knew he was far past suffering at that point and was glad. It was awful to watch, though, waiting for it to stop and everything to really be over (he had cancer metastases in his lungs that were making it impossible for him to get enough oxygen; he didn’t even survive one day once the hospice comfort meds relaxed him.)
Don't go to an assisted endoflife treatment then because this is inevitable. (I learned that the hard way and I will stick to my own advice from now on)
The other experiences I encountered won't survive the AI-automod unleashed by RUclips so I'll shut my mouth.
This happened to me as I slipped into a coma from diabetic ketoacidosis at 45 years old. I was incorrectly diagnosed and wasn't aware of the symptoms of DKA because I didn't have diabetes. Now I do! Thank God for insulin!!!
I wish I would have known this when my dad had his bad stroke!! He was sleeping when his snoring got worse. I went in to check on him. He looked like he was in a bad dream, so I gently placed my hand on his leg and said, "Dad...Dad.... You're having a bad dream." He instantly relaxed and the snoring stopped. Was sleeping peaceful. An hour later he was back to snoring loud. It got really loud so I went to wake him. He wouldn't wake! I called 911, but the damage was done. I feel so bad. Like I failed him. He was paralyzed with "locked-in syndrome." He fought so hard to stay alive. We had 3 months to say I love you. It has been 12 years ago.
I'm sorry you had to go through that, I went through similar feelings of guilt when my grandfather died while I was his caretaker, just know that there is nothing you could have done , and he is at peace now. It took me years to come to terms with that guilt myself. It wasn't your fault.
@@lxzchaseI’m so sorry you’ve both gone through something so awful. I truly cannot imagine and I wish you healing and comfort. 🥺🖤
@lisastevens682 YOU didn’t fail him. I suspect even if you were a doctor, you couldn’t have prevented the brain damage caused by the stroke
Also strokes & heart attacks don’t just happen. They are result if bad diet. Which is the person’s own fault. (Just like lung cancer is result of a person smoking.)
.
So when agonal breathing occurs, the higher brain functions are very likely experiencing irreversable damage already, so even immediate medical attention will turn you into a vegetable at best? Thats a pass for me.
Yeah, that's what I got out of this. Apparently kids have higher chances of recovery, but an adult? Best case scenario, you're just in someone else's care for the rest of your life, worst case vegetable.
I don't really want either. If someone sees me agonal breathing...pass, sorry, but I'll just take going out over that.
Lol yeah id rather die
@@bigbluebuttonman1137that's why you can wear Do Not Resuscitate wristbands
I think he did slightly misspoke on the hypoxia part. When agonal breathing is occurring, it's more accurate to say: If we do not act NOW, then irreversible damage follows.
Brain damage can occur within 10 minutes of oxygen deprivation. Its not immediate and the damage is gradual, sometimes even reversible due to the brain's ability to repair itself and reroute neurons.
Okay so a week ago my mom texted me to let me know my dad, who was on hospice care, was nearing the end of his life and I should maybe find time to come see him, and to clarify the point, she sent me a 16 second video of what I've just now learned to be agonal breathing.
He was dead within minutes; I did not find time to see him.
Rest in peace to your father, stay strong and know he's with you no matter what
Rest in peace 🕊️🙏
If you are hearing that sound in hospice care, they are already dead and unconscious, However, even dead it is believed some brain functions continue, like hearing for example, brain cells don't instantly die and when you flatline, hearing will likely be the last sense to go. I've had lucid dreams where I could hear the radio in my dream, yet I was unconscious. Same thing here.
Thats why Dispatchers in my District stoped asking "is the Person Breathing" and started asking "is the Person breathing and does it appear as normal breathing to you?" And if the awnser is no CPR gets started and an Ambulace send right away
I literally just learned about this in work CPR training. Highly recommend getting trained even if youre not required to; you could save a life
Knocked myself out cold running full speed into the metal leg of a school yard swing set as a child.
I looked behind me and cracked the side of my skull.
My mom hates the story but I was doing the dead fish gasp eyes open non responsive for almost a full minute according the the teacher.
I woke up at home. No memory of the hospital even though I was awake.
Im lucky to be relatively normal after that, being a child helps your chances of recovery from brain damage alot I have been told.
Yes I cracked my skull, no I didn't need surgery thankfully I didn't bleed much.
Holy hell, that’s one hell of an experience; glad you’re doin’ well now man. 👍🏼
Woah!!
This happened to a coworker of mine a long time ago. We worked in cubicle-like stations, he was seated behind me and I was seated facing away from him. I'm typing away and heard a snore somewhere behind me but didn't think anything of it (I heard and saw a ton of weird stuff at that job, lol) and kept typing. Next time it was much louder and I couldn't ignore it this time. When I turned around my coworker was sitting in his chair passed out and his face was purple! We called 911 and another coworker gave them cpr until paramedics arrived. It was such a shock, but thankfully he survived. We found out later he was having a heart attack.
I went in for a sleep study. They wired me up and put me to bed. Two hours later, the techs who had been monitering me were shaking me awake. They told me they couldn't take it any more, and they were hooking me up to a high side bipap. I apparently ceased to breathe 90 times an hour. I had been sleeping on my side. No snoring. No sudden deep gasps. Just "forgetting" to breathe. I have a bipap now, set on high pressure.
It's called sleep apnea, that's the whole point in the sleep study, if the technicians could not take it, then maybe they need a different career.....They should have focused on monitoring your vitals including SpO2. You probably have obstructive sleep apnea, and while those machines are good they need to be maintained properly and cleaned, and no matter what, there is a side effect of using those machines in the long term - that high pressure blasting your lungs is not a good thing, have they explored alternatives for you ? I mean some extreme cases have no choice and require the machines, but high pressure, that cannot be good for the lungs. A properly calibrated and maintained machine will be fine, but long term effects can be inevitable, like side effects, or in extreme cases severe outcomes from the polyurethane - debris in lungs, infection, etc.
@@jimmydandy9364 I really appreciate your going into depth about my case. I have been on what I understood was a bipap. I got my first one in 2015. I was also referred to a neurologist. He had me get different types of shots of my brain, including with some kind of dye, with an MRI machine. From what I understand, my brain "forgets" to breathe, then starts up on its own, or when it gets a reminder from the bipap. The bipap is monitored and has a chip in it. I'm an old lady.I have limited understanding of this stuff. Apparently I've always had it? It just got worse over the years. I've had memory gaps and a mild stroke. It's improved with the machine, so I'm not complaining. Before I was tested etc, I'd been hospitalized for massive pulmonary embolisms in both lungs, cause undetermined. They have not returned. Anyway, I do appreciate all you wrote.
I think a good way to check if it's agonal breathing or not would be to actively check for a heartbeat. If it's not there, despite the occasional breathe, that would confirm it.
This is what happened with Nipsey Hussle after he got shot, and I'll never forget his friend and brother's description of it.
I am a paramedic and I approve of this message.
Guys and girls, learn CPR!
A while back, there was news coverage of a dashcam video capturing a car accident. In this news, father was in a car driving by son, and I heard his father making this sound and breathing after accident, and the doctors in the news said same like this video.. I still remember it vividly cause it was so shocking.. 😣
🫂
My partner has a TBI and once overheated and wasn't medicated, had a major seizure. Watching the recovery had a brief stage of "sleeping" similar to this. They're better and properly medicated now. Was terrifying at the time but videos like this have helped me learn and be able to act
My mom did this when she passed away from lung cancer. I wasn't aware of it and no one had warned me. I simply can't express the emotions I went through while it was happening. I've been through a lot of horrible things in my life, more than most, but this was easily the most traumatic thing I've ever experienced. It's been almost a decade and I still have nightmares about it. Knowing she was already gone and wasn't aware of it doesn't help for some reason. It's probably because it's linked to the emotions I felt while it was happening. They should make sure that people that are caring for terminally ill loved ones are aware of this so they aren't so traumatized by it.
In the UK, if there is someone unconscious but breathing, emergency call handlers ask you to count how often they’re breathing out loud, and describe the type of breathing, skin colour etc for many reasons like this. If someone describes they’re breathing funny, they may ask to hold the phone up to the patient who usually know how to recognise it and can step it up to a CAT1 call (category 1 - most urgent and life threatening ambulance response, most rapid response that will have any available ambulance immediately dispatched or divert an ambulance from another call that isn’t as urgent to this call), local rapid response volunteers (community first responders, average people with training who volunteer their time for the community to respond whilst an ambulance is enroute, usually rural areas) will be notified if on duty as well to respond.
When i worked as an EMT we had a call and the patient was doing this. We worked them for 45 minutes and they didn’t make it. Looking back they were probably already gone when we got there. You never forget the first time you do CPR on someone. 😞
we listened to my grandma agonally breathe on her deathbed for 3 hours. it was agonizing knowing this was the only way she could finally be released from her suffering
I'm medical student. Right before starting my third day of probation in hospital I performed CPR (as I'm a land lifeguard) to a terminally ill patient who died that day. When I first saw him and tried the AVPU scheme he made his last breath and tilted his head to me while having eyes open. He wasn't responsive nor concious when he did that. His last reflex reaction before dying few minutes after. He was my first deceased patient on my shift. RIP Mr J.
I've watched some gory videos about headshots and they also get this breathing. Never knew about this, thanks! You should do also a video about the hand/limb tensioning and positioning when getting serious head trauma

RIP to your friend ❤
Not sure if this is considered agonal breathing, but my mother passed away just a little under two months ago from colon cancer that metastasized in her brain. One of the final things we noticed when she was in palliative care was the sudden, gasping breaths and moments of apnea that occurred. Hearing the noises and rattles in this video remind me of those last days we had with her, counting the progressively larger number of seconds between each breath. I know she's no longer in pain, but I miss her every day.
it could have been, but I've also heard it call the death ghasp
Agonal breathing is absolutely terrifying and one of the most haunting things I've ever witnessed in my life.
I've witnessed it with my mom dying from brain tumor. I knew what it is but had no idea on the mechanizm itself. Thank you.
I watched my dad breathing like that as he lay dying from a glioblastoma brain tumor.

It's not what I'd call 'dark science' so much as information that could potentially save someone's life.
So, if you see someone doing this is already too late? The brain have been shut down
As the video said, it depends.
Depends on the cause and how long the agonal breathing has been going on. Also given the context of the situation does matter, if you see someone in the street randomly fall down and starts to have agonal breathing after a while you should just call for help asap and there might be time to save this person, but if someone got shot in the right/wrong place and has agonal breathing is probably too late to save them, as that probably means they have bled too much that the brain is starting to die, so in this last case even if you give CPR you're not gonna make him produce more blood to reach the brain.
@@GuuMonster in the video says that if someone is doing this is because the brain has been shut down and even the upper portion of the brainstem is completely out of oxigen, can someone come back from that? Even if you perform cpr, its more likely to be brain dead already
@@nabetzeleira Yes, it is very likely that there will be some permanent brain damage assuming the person in question is assisted on time to prevent death, but it also depends on what causes such condition.
As he said in the video, if someone is experiencing cardiac arrest it's because the heart has failed but the blood can still be pumped manually with CPR, yet that will depend on the scenario, if it's a stroke, then CPR might be useless, so it depends on the cause and how fast the medical response is, but again, once someone experiences agonal breathing is practically too late for them.
NO, it is not too late. The brain has shut itself down and the brain stem is reacting in a manner to try and increase oxygen flow to the brain.
Every second matters. Now, there are conditions that can't be treated without mechanical means, such as bypassing a blockage and pumping blood to the brain (this really only happens in hospitals, and even then is rare), but CPR is not going to hurt any patient with agonal breathing, and can both save the life of, and the function of, the person with agonal breathing.
CPR should be started before calling 911.
@@danielhurst8863 Per the American Heart Association, 911 is quickly called first, then CPR is started. Help must arrive for an increase long term survival post CPR. In addition CPR alone without early use of an AED severely decreases survivability.
I do not crave the forbidden snoring father...
6:17 “Unlike a stroke or decapitation”
I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. My partner recorded my sleep it sounded like this, with sometimes a lawnmower sound, and sometimes a strangled seal pup sound. Played it for dr who immediately gave me a sleep study. They said all night , i breathe for 45 sec then choke for 1-2 min without breath, in a cycle the whole night, and it was one of worst cases he ever saw, put me on the highest possible air pressure wirh full face cpap. Its still not enough air to sleep on back as your supposed to and i have to lay face downish with mask pressure pushing up right above bridge of nose, mouth hanging open.
Are you overweight by any chance ? In such extreme cases there are other options to explore, sometimes surgery to remove some of the tissue and reduce the obstruction.
My baby was so big in my small body that I had sleep apnea in the second half of my pregnancy. Once he was out, it went away, but now I know I can't be overweight because I will get sleep apnea real fast.
It would be nice if doctors provide ways to rectify the problem and not put patients indefinitely on CPAP, you see the issue with CPAP is down the line you will get major issues, some could be fatal. CPAP are high maintenance they need to be cleaned properly and maintained, which most people don't do because it is so difficult to do and get right + don't get me started on the billions of $ in lawsuits from major CPAP makers due to the tiny particles of the mask getting in your lungs and causing cancer and other severe lung issues. And finally, do you honestly believe that it is OK to blast high pressure in lungs ? No, lungs were not designed to receive pressure, so yeah CPAP machines slowly destroy your lunge and even worse on high pressure. Why do you think there are many risks being put under a ventilator in a hospital, and for COVID19, lot of morbidity from ventilators, it's not due to COVID19, it is due to the damaging effects on the high pressure against the lungs for prolonged periods of time. CPAPs should always be a temporary solution, otherwise they wreck your lungs - Personally I have sleep apnea to some extent, I rather DIE than get lung cancer or get my lungs function significantly reduced and eventually destroyed due to the high pressure blasting in them. Getting surgery in my opinion would carry far fewer risks long term.
If you’ve ever watched a person take their last breaths, this is how.
I love these new videos because most actually have useful information that could save a life. I miss the old less dark content lol but these are still great plus your style is the best part anyway
Good job with this video! I’ve been CPR trained a few times over now and I’ve never been told about agonal breathing. This video was super helpful!
Won't lie, that ad was placed so smoothly. It's a pity that you can't just trust your body's nutritional needs in one manufactured product.
"I have loud snoring"
What google tells me:
STOP IT.
Dark science uploaded a video. What a lovely day to start with❤
The fact that I didn’t know the EMT directing me to do CPR on my seizing brother saved his life… I remember shaking and saying “I can’t do it,” and they said bluntly, “if you don’t, he’ll be brain dead by the time we get there.” (He’s almost 40 and okay now, thanks to the EMT.)
Very interesting. Also, the words at the end of the video are very well put. Subbed!
That switch to the sponsor was so smooth I'm not even gonna skip it, just using the time it runs to write this comment for the El Go Rhythm boost it gives, similar to the boost AG1 gives to brains.
Anybody ever told you that you sound a bit like IDKSterling sometimes?
Just the sort of cozy stuff to watch before going to sleep. Thanks!
foul 😭
My mom passed away in 2020 from cancer, I’ll never forget the end when she went into agonal breathing, it was like watching a fish out of water.
Thank you for these videos. I never knew this was a thing.
That was a smooth transition into an add!
I think the reason RIP is on tombstones is because people snore before that permanent nap.

Agonal breathing is DEATHS DOOR…..That person needs CPR IMMEDIATELY
I work on ambulance. I learned about agonal breathing during my EMR (as basic as it gets) course but never saw videos of it. A few years ago I saw it for the first time while treating a trauma patient, I didn't understand what I was seeing but I remember immediately feeling a sense of dread, my hair stood up, felt ice cold, and knew that they were already dead despite being medically alive when I looked at them. There was nothing that could be done, the injuries were "incompatible with life" and it just took a while for the functioning body systems to follow.
Those first few seconds hit hard. Found my father with what turned out to be a blockage in the brainstem. Going in and out of a locked in state. He did not survive in the end.
I've never heard of this. Very interesting. Thanks.
Once when i was in the hospital with a case of Pleural effusion i witnessed a terminal pacient on my side with advanced case of pneumonia started doing these weird at snoring sounds moments before his death, i wasn't scared but surely it was a weird moment.
This might be unrelated but kinda similar
Tw; death
When my dad died his kidneys failed, when I approached him, the only sound he was making was, a gurgling coming from him under the sound of his pacemaker losing it's mind.
That sound has haunted me and this has made me curious as if this is somehow adjacent to that.
Hey, brother, I know that was hard to even think about, bring up, and write/comment - that 'haunting' is such unspeakable terror and fear; I hear you, and therefore really feel for you, and therefore want to send a brief but heartfelt encouragement to you, in your future, with the difficult thing(s) like this that periodically jump into your head - hope you can find the innermost part of you, where these temporary agonies are accepted, and respected, and also moved past - even though they must be visited upon us (it would seem)...
That very naked 'truest' us does, somehow, exist outside of the mere experience of time that we spend our lives in - it's what's witnessing it all, for some strange, cosmic, existential reason - and I hope that your father's last human pains, that you described, ultimately gave way to something infinitely more 'at home'. Take care, and may both of our dads' memories be at peace. Be well. 👍

Great video. You should do a video on jvd, racoon eyes, and Battle signs
If my brain is so damaged, that I'm agonal breathing, just let me rest, it's obviously been a long day.
I love the format…. Do not change the simple visuals.
When my grandma had a stroke, she did this very odd breathing pattern that was similar to snoring but I could tell was not snoring. I recognized the sound immediately in this video, as it's one that still lives in my nightmares. She was agonal breathing.
I immediately recognized that gasping breath the second I saw it.
That brought back some dark memories.
Never take a persons description for granted, as if it's fact. It is up to your probing questions to save that person's life! Unfortunately some don't do this...
I come across this all the time selling car parts. Some people don't know cars at all and so it's up to me to ask probing questions to get the details I need so I can get what THEY need.
A few months ago I took my son to our local park/lake. We get close to the lake and a guy comes up to me and says.
"Hey, what do you think we should do about this guy?"
Weird way to start a conversation.
"What guy" I ask. He leads me down to the shore and there is a guy on his side just laying there, feet getting wet.
The guy told me he tried to wake him up, I asked what he tried. He said he just talked to him.
I start to approach and loudly yell to get his attention (I cant see his hands)
"Hey! Hey buddy! You okay?"
No response, so I nudge him with my foot. Still nothing. I roll him over and I can see he is agonal breathing. The first guy didnt know what that was, so I tell him the fellow is dying and I dial 911. Explain the situation.
Now, heres the thing. My son is autistic and he is my first priority. The operator asks if I know CPR, I do. Ive had a fair bit of medical training in my life. The other guy, claims he didnt. So, I had to have this guy watch my son to make sure he doesnt wander off, and I start compressions.
Let me tell you. Doing CPR in a class is one thing. You're pumping the dummy for twenty, thirty seconds. Yeah, you can tell its an exertion, but no big deal.
I had to beat that guy for five minutes straight till relief came.
I was freaking gassed.
They were professional and on point and didnt ask any stupid questions.
I don't know why the guy was checking out, I assume an OD, he was fairly young. Had a jar of weed next to him.
So, I dont think it was an intentional act. He had just bought it, still had the seal on it. So, I doubt he decided to look at the lake as his last wish. Probably just wanted to get a little high on something and chill, and either got something he wasnt expecting, or took too much of it.
I also dont know what happened to the guy. That kinda bugs me.
As soon as I was relieved I got my son and we left. Felt no need to hang around.
This was WA b.t.w.
I tell this story because had the first guy been just a tad more proactive and not such a whinging soyboy, the downed fellow would have had a much better chance.
Learn CPR people, its super easy, barely an inconvenience. Hands right in the middle of the chest between their nipples. And PRESS HARD. Do it to a beat. Forget about rescue breathing, just press press press press press. Sing the song "staying alive" in your head to keep a rythem. You are literally pumping their blood for them. You may crack their ribs, thats okay, but dont be afraid to use force.
Agonal breathing can happen to anybody at any time. Audience wishes hapless victims all the best. Cheers!
As a doctor, I was wondering how i never heard of it, and as soon as I saw the video, I was like,
That's gasping!!!
Start CPR now!!!!!!!
Yea, we just call it gasping here...
Bro that transition to the sponsorship was so smooth.
In the anything goes days of the web I remember seeing a video of a helmet-less skateboarder botching a rail grind and slamming into the pavement. He was making noises like this as his horrified friends tried to get him to respond. It didn't show the outcome but I guess it wasn't good.
Damn, if I was going out through agonal breathing, please let me go.
I do not want to be a burden on anyone, since my prefrontal cortex is long gone.
i seen a guy get lit up after trying to break into the wrong house he started doing this on the ground
youtube recommendations at 3am:
This could have been *extremely* graphic. Thank you for holding back!
Well the Brain Injury video got taken down, as expected
tf this is scary as fuck if im living alone and i live through Agnonal breathing ill wake up and sleep again and damage my brain without knowing it
Think I heard something about this in a horror web series
This is excellent.
I've had dreams with drowning scenes, or where I'm trying to hold my breath and it feels physical rather than imagined.
(Last one I was scuba diving with others next to a underwater cliff, and suddenly I'm being pulled down fast and having to hold on to the cliff face and yell through my facemask.)
I can feel a physical difference in how I'm breathing, not the false 'feeling' that dreams fool you will, and it feels like how agonal breathing sounds. It's like I'm trying to hold my breath but am physically unable to, breaths in coming in heavily forced and uncomfortable.
I've only had a dream like this a few times, but something that sticks out enough for me to remember it even months or years later despite the dream logic and usually forgetting other dreams from even the same night faster than I can remember them.
The brain doesn't process 11 millions operations a second... however we do gather an estimated 11 million bits of information per second and a lot of which is filtered out and or not processed.
My dad sounds just like that when he snores and it's very hard to wake him up....I don't live with him any more but if I did I would have no idea how to tell if he's dying or just sleeping. 🐱😰
I have heard that sometimes when people get knocked out (from being hit on the head) they will "snore". I have never seen or heard this in person. Is this a similar thing to agonal breathing or is it different?
That commercial somehow rubbed me the wrong way
It’s like a backup operating system designed to keep the lights on until it can be fixed
Note agonal breathing is a sign in elderly at the end of life that death is soon
You were smooth with that add sponsor lol
I’ve been waiting for another episode 😁
