The silence can be deafening. Currently on year 2 of volunteer fire/rescue and every time a call comes in that gets marked DOA by the medic, the rig goes silent. No one talks, no one moves, the driver just drives and we wait to do what we're trained to do, and ride back home in silence.
The scariest thing is people can be alert and aware of whats going on at the start, see the monitor, understand whats about to happen, and be dead in only 60 seconds later
Being a paramedic, the most chilling words you're gunna hear is "Am i gunna die? Can I talk to my family?" Like if you're not there you couldn't feel what we felt like it was horrifying
@@EezoTheChezo once it's one of the first rhythms on the video it's okay. It's the flat line(asystole) and the still waves that gives us the chills. It will be hard to revive if that's our first rhythm,
I will never forget. That guy at grade 12, who's heart stopped becouse of seizures. Luckily, me and my sport teacher started doing cpr, plus there was a paramedic station near. Today this guy is 100% okay (for at least what I know). Thanks god.
I can't believe how scary this is. Way scarier than any movie portraying hospital bed death. I knew about how it goes silent and not a long note, but man.
I've worked in an ER for 8 years now, I've seen this too many times. One of the most humbling things I've experienced is people's phones right after death. Their family's don't know their loved one has passed away yet and the calls and text messages keep coming as if everything is normal... You want to answer it but you can't...
therapist suggested this video as exposure therapy due to my mom having a almost fatal cardiac arrest. absolutely insane that she survived I can’t imagine this is what she felt.
So exposure therapy is making the realization that yes, stuff like this happens all the time and that you should be happy about mom living through something like that?
@@Opethfeldt death's terrifying exactly because it's very real and unavoidable, not the other way around. I'm not scared of being hunted by a T-800 Terminator with a phased plasma rifle in 40-watt range, or a clown living in the sewage system, because the probability they happen is zero.

@@Ch3rryflav0ur3d No. Ectopic beats are actually very common. I work on a telemetry floor and I'd bet 50% of our patients throw the occasional ectopic beat.
0:01 S-T segment is almost nonexistent, ventricles contract for a very short time. 0:03 you can see a premature ventricular contraction. Especially can result in ventricular fibrillation if happens at a vulnerable moment like the middle of T-wave. 0:10 premature ventricular contractions back to back can be seen here. 0:22 this is the first time we see a correct ECG pattern so far. It’s only lasts a single cycle. 0:25 marks the start of ventricular tachycardia. One of two patterns that require a defibrillator. If not treated, can cause ventricular fibrillation. 0:37 ventricular fibrillation is starting. Blood pressure is zero. Heart is just twitching without a pattern, blood is not being pumped. Approximately 5 minutes until brain death. Defibrillation is required immediately. 0:53 you can see much finer waves now. Much harder to treat. Less likely to respond to defibrillation. 1:05 all cardiac impulses stop. Hypoxia resulted from ventricular fibrillation is making heart tissue ischemic. Heart is dying.
As a critical care cardiac nurse, we have to act so fast when we see any new change in rhythm such as VTACH. We always say time is heart tissue. Especially during a code blue when the patient arrests. It is crazy how fast things can change but also how amazing it is that we can fix some situations even faster. The saddest part is that we can’t save them all despite every effort. I’m fortunate to get to help these people to the best of my ability.

0:00 | Multifocal PVCs with an ST Elevation begin, 0:22 | R on T phenomenon happens when the PVC lands directly on a T wave. Heart rhythm transfers to Ventricular Tachycardia 0:35 | Rhythm transfers into a Ventricular Fibrillation, where ventricles quiver instead of beat, it will become fine VF in moments, which are electrical signals on the ECG are greater than 3mm in height 0:48 | VF waves become finer and smaller, indicating the heart is quivering less powerfully, this will lead to Asystole where the heart stops completely. 1:02 | Heart stops beating completely, no more electrical activity or contractions. No oxygen to the body will cause brain death if not treated immediately
+HI MY NAME IS JAJAHOI!!! (CERMET) yup, every medical school has to have one because they can't do this to a person for a variety of reasons, the main one being the person will die if there is no intervention for an extended period of time.
Just to relieve some anxiety, I worked as a cardiac monitor tech at a hospital, and I have never seen anyone go through the fatal process shown here in this short amount of time. I believe this is a simulation. From what I saw this process typically took many minutes or hours, and with medical intervention the odds were very good to save the patient. Obviously there are fatal cardiac events that happens suddenly, but for a huge majority of patients I was always surprised at just how resilient the heart was. You realize it when you are monitoring a 90 year old lady in AFib with a heart rate of 200+bpm for 2 weeks, who is just acting normal and walking around her hospital room. We even saw people in ventricular tachycardia who were fully awake and reported having no symptoms.
Thank you. This is one of the kindest comments I found on TH-cam. Really. I don't know how I got here but in the end I was really unwell. It was a real relief to read you. Wish you the best.
@@whywhy7692Thanks that made my day :) Whenever you have a chance try to get an EKG at a doctor's visit or hospital so they have a baseline in the future and can spot existing conditions. I think they typically wait until you're 40, but I think it's a good idea for everyone to have a baseline. If you ever have a cardiac event, they can compare it to your baseline (which is unique) and it can help significantly with diagnosis. Just make sure you try to get it with the same medical system your ER is in so they have it in their electronic records.
The fact that a person experiencing SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) only has 45-75 Seconds to be is terrifying, and the fact that all medical staff react even faster is insane, Kudos to all medical staff out there for making the world ten times better. edit: hey guys, thanks to @DavyOtkn for telling me this but this is not a case of SCA. it is in fact Myocardial infarction. just wanted to let you know. lmao lots of likes tysm. hope you have a healthy life!!
You can see from the start that it is a Myocardial Infarction, the ECG has that cleared for us, you can definitely see it, and if any medic can't see this and treat the patient for a Myocardial Infarction in the first 10-25 secs giving medications he should have his licence revoked.
For those that want to know the ecg, this patient was going through a myocardial ischemia ( heart attack) in which Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) are very common due to damaged heart tissue. Sometimes this PVC occur during vulnerable periods of cardiac cycle ( R ON T PHENOMENON) leading to Ventricular tachycardia which then leads to Ventricular fibrillation and finally cardiac arrest.
Infarction and Ischemia are kinda different though (one causes the other, one is reversible, the other isn't). Heart Attacks are Myocardial Infarctions. Myocardial Ischemia will inevitably lead to Infarction. Other than that, you're completely correct. The elevated ST intervals indicated ischemia has degraded to infarction, which most likely would be an STEMI, which is the most lethal of all heart attack types.
My dad passed away from cardiac arrest 14 years ago. Within half an hour of hospitalization he was gone. I didn't see patterns like these because they didn't let me in icu but he must have felt terrible pain. Seeing this makes me sad. I miss my father.
condolences to your father, hope he’s resting in peace and i hope you and your family are healing. i couldn’t imagine how painful it is to go through this.
I'm so sorry for your loss, remember he is resting in peace now, and keep loving his memory for everything he has done, gave you the gift to live, to still have your beat carrying on. I wish you and your family the best and hope y'all are feeling alright, so sorry for this, keep your heart on for him :)

These days kids are being taught early on in school how to help someone going into cardiac arrest or having a heart attack making a brighter future for all of us.
Let's break this down so no one else is confused, so here we go. 0:00: Here we see ST elevations, indicative of a STEMI, or widow maker heart attack. 0:03: Here we see the first premature ventricular contraction, becoming multifocal only moments later. Can be very dangerous if it occurs during T wave, called an R on T phenomenon. 0:10: Here we see 2 PVC's in a row, called a couplet. 0:17: 2nd PVC couplet. Condition worsening. 0:22: Here we see the first normal beat, immediately followed by a PVC. Dangerous R on T phenomenon is occurring. 0:24: R on T phenomenon has led to an extremely dangerous rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. Cardiac output is very minimal. Patient may or may not be responsive. Can lead to VF if not treated immediately. 0:37: Ventricular fibrillation is starting. Heart is quivering instead of beating. Patient is pulseless. Zero cardiac output. Immediate defibrillation is needed. Can lead to death if not treated immediately. Will become finer over time. 0:53: Much finer waves now. Much harder to treat. Less likely to respond to defibrillation. Death is imminent. 1:03: Fine VF evolves into asystole. All cardiac impulses stop. No oxygen to brain or rest of body. Requires CPR. Patient is dying or already dead. Chance of survival is less than 10%. Notify family.
I believe at one point there were annotations describing the process in the video. Then TH-cam got rid of them all because of course they did. Going through the newest comments made me disgusted. That's how I found this comment, and along the way I saw comments like "hehe 0:01 69 lol", " He s talking about heart start or heart stop😂" and "The waves on the heart rate monitor is similar to the geometry dash wave"... This is a training video for doctors to learn about how cardiac arrest evolves.
16th April 2021, my father passed away right beside me on a hospital bed. I hold his hand until his last moment and hearing this sound of his heart beat going down to a flat line always give me chills
It's a way of life. Hinduism talks about how inevitable it is. But don't worry, people will have multiple births and deaths to finally enter and be one with Brahman. Unlike abrahmics who says it's one life, one or never.
This is so eerie. The slow decline, the speed up of the beeps, to the eventual stop. This gave me chills. Seeing the heart start to struggle and beat out of sync, is truly scary. It has the same feeling of the minute silence at the very end of Everywhere at the End of Time. It feels off.
Well, you lose consciousness pretty damn fast so you won't suffer much at all if you die this way. Prostate cancer is what you should be scared of. Especially if you live in a shithole where assisted suicide is not an option.
Damn, this brought me back to when I was in a local hospital, I think I was admitted for a severe asthma attack (I was like 5 years old), I was left alone in the ward because it's night time already and visitors aren't allow to visit anymore, I remember hearing this sound from inside the same ward I was in and it was terrifying, I woke up around 2 AM or something to the sound of profuse bleeping and suddenly a monitor just flatlined, I didn't knew what that was when I was little but now that I grew up, I knew that that means someone died, so witnessing someone dying in the same ward is scary, especially at night and everyone is asleep, I think that person was just a few rows away from me and the next day I woke up, that person was gone. Still scared me till this day knowing that I've witness someone had died during that day.
Holy shit that’s crazy. I was just thinking about how creepy it would be to just be in a hospital and know someone died just by hearing some beeps from the other room. Super eerie
Here i am with multiple cases of Paroxysmal Tachycardia, i had 216 beats per minute, i realise how lucky i am that i have survived these, and after i had a surgery i had heart attacks no more
Someone died and still educating us till now. That's something to think about Edit: I know it's a simulation alright ? How does the simulation actually created in the first place ? A simulation works when the programmer includes real life data base to grasp the idea and encode those information into digital format for education purpose and then they'll create a simulation. In that case this heart attack simulation solely based on the information/data of real life person in the death bed.
I can't believe I was so close to this happening to me. For most of 2018, my heart rate was in the 30's and 40's, and doctors couldn't figure out why or what to do. It would occasionally spike when i was stand up, but starting in the fall it didn't even have the strength to do that, it just stayed low. My health was at the point that I couldn't walk without help and breathing was difficult, and as a last ditch effort, they were going to implant a heart monitor inside my chest to see if they could find anything. By the grace of God, on the operating table, they quickly realized I needed a pacemaker. So what was supposed to be a 30 minute surgery turned into an 8 hour one, as they decided to do the pacemaker instead of the monitor (I had used heart monitors before, but never inside my chest like they planned here) Before i woke up, I was sure I was going to die in a few months. When I woke up, everything felt better. I was still weak, the surgery aftermath was painful and walking was hard. But my breathing was normal again, it was like waking up in a new body. Through testing they saw that my heart quickly, within a couple weeks, lost its ability to beat at all without a pacemaker assisting, meaning the pacemaker works 100% of the day. It also meant that 2 or 3 weeks after the day of the surgery, if I hadn't gotten the pacemaker, my heart would've stopped. I stared death in the face for most of that year. I've had numerous health issues since, some just as painful, like rheumatoid arthritis which I'm currently on chemotherapy for. All of this happening and I'm only 19, the heart issues started at age 15. But I'll always be grateful, extremely grateful, that I was on the edge of death and got to wake up from the operating table with decades left of my life. Most people in my situation never got that opportunity 🙏
My grandad had a cardiac arrest in 2009. If it wasn’t for my uncle giving him CPR he would have died right then and there, but he saved him and he survived another 17 days. Sadly he never spoke again but at least we were able to say goodbye to him thanks to my uncle. He also saved my grandma in February of this year, he was supposed to be going out but was delayed. My grandma started properly choking on some food and if he wasn’t there to help her and call the ambulance, she would have been gone. I’m next to her right now. My uncle sadly passed away last month in an accident. He saved both his parents, and in the end one of his parents outlived him. Life is strange AF sometimes…
Yeah, a similar story happened to me as well. My uncle saved 7 people from a snakebite before I was born. He got married in 2011, and his wife was abusive. She tormented him and they got divorced. He ended up getting into a drinking addiction (He was never violent towards anybody when he was drunk) and died roughly ten years later, on May 11, 2022. Thing is, my grandmother outlived him, but my grandfather passed away in February of 2014. Guys, don't drink, it can really ruin your life, no matter how much of a good person you are.
i dont know if its normal or not for parents to outlive their kids bur my grandma died and my great grandma is still alive (shes in a nursing home and 93 with cancer but shes doing better than most people, she can still get up and walk)
For those who dont get it, the original joke was supposed to go like this: Gf: Daddy, could you please pass the salt? Me and her dad both reach for it: Me: They didnt include the "daddy" part.

@@shibrajdey4764 yeah I understand and you're welcome. I think this touches everyone differently it has a depressing sad kind of feel to it but don't worry although this is a very real thing that happens this here shown in the video is only a simulator used for med school so it's not someone actually passing away.
It's fascinating seeing the logistic equation in such a scenario. First it's a normal cycle, then it oscillates between two points, then four, eight and so on. Until it flatlines, which in the equation is when the graph becomes chaotic. Fascinating that such a simple equation can explain such complex behaviour.
Guys, be close to your family, do not disappoint them while they are. Sooner or later the moment will come when we all die. Therefore, we must live life so that at the end of lying at death we do not regret.
Damn this really hits home as someone who experienced a heart attack. I now experience PVC's every day for the past 4 years ever since (although they make up a super tiny percentage of my heartbeats), and am on beta blockers. Overall my health is completely normal now, I'm in good shape and I exercise often, and my doctor says the PVC's are completely harmless, but still, whenever I get them I cannot help but have a lingering feeling of dread.
Amazing how fast the ventricular tachycardia transforms into fibrillation. Months pass my dear reader, yet I am brought back here to read a reply or two. I still can't help but admire the Morbid beauty of this twisted process. And the fact that it can happen to any one of us and in such a painfully short time.
The muscles of the heart cannot sustain VTach for long and it will just start to fatigue and quiver into fibrillation when there’s no circulating electrolytes to correct the dysrhythmia.
You see this in the monitor room rarely, even on telemetry units, but there is always that one patient who throws 6-7 beats of vtach my way. Sometimes 18 beats, which is enough for you to crap yourself...
Yeah.. One time, i was getting treatment for an injury (wont tell what for privacy reasons) and they had a heart rate monitor hooked up to me. I constantly looked at it for most of the procedure and then my heart decided to start a few beats of v-tach and i saw the nurse's face was like this: 😳 Thankfully it recovered after a few seconds. I think it was just a glitch.
@@oppok5657 correct less than 30 sec is termed a "run of vtach" and over 30 sec is sustained vtach. sustained vtach patient more likely to lose a pulse
I've seen this device before. It was really scary. It was given to my father when he had a brain hemorrhage. My father was in a coma, but he's now healed. I destroyed the woman who was next to my father with a heart attack. This really happened to her. I was always afraid for my father that this would happen to him, but now he is better and in good health. I thank God for this. This is the first day he goes to work from four months away I hope that he lasts health and wellness and for all parents
My grandpa escaped the germans in Narvik in ww2 as a soldier of age 19 and died of his third heart attack alone in his bedroom at age 80. hes last actions was fumbling with some papers that were seen tossed on the floor along with himself. He loved drinking, I wish I got to know him better.
0:00 You can see the frequency dropping (which is commonly a sign of a cardiac arrest) 0:24 start of ventricular fibrillation (refers to that waves that you see in the ecg which commonly leads to a cardiac arrest.) 0:37 Asystole begins (small wave fibrillation | also refers to that dropping electrical activity in the heart.) 0:41 sudden drop in blood pressure 1:05 Electrical activity in the heart stops completely. In the event of a cardiac arrest, CPR is necessary (30 pumps 2 breaths) In this case, defibrillation is needed. Idk if this is also IRL but incorporate the usage of adrenaline, and amiodarone. When in asystole, use atropine.
@FlochBasedKing yes as I identify ventricular tachycardia it’s a rhythm that has a very high rate (usually 300-500 BPM) then seemingly has all four chambers of the heart beat at once And if left untreated can also be identified when the patient goes into v-fib
@@cantedsxghtgaming3393 ok just was checking because if you have A far away hospital and no AED or defibrillator if you did that for a long amount of time The amount of time now I was talking to get a protective barrier to stop pathogens and a time to actually take the breaths could add up causing lack of blood flow to the brain You only perform that when the patient is not breathing because the chest compressions to make the person breath and breaths to keep the lungs from a pneumothorax (because the diaphragm isn’t working)
This is a comforting thing to get in my recommended after having a sudden irregularly high heartbeat for no reason. Also, I like how one of the given reasons for CCT in the description is ”decapitation”
the anxiety I get from watching the heartrate start stable, them fall into arrhythmia, then pure intensity, then slowly dying off. It's terrifying how easily our lives can be taken from us
Lost my uncle few days ago. He was a diabetes patient as well as had problem in the kidney. He died in ICU due to cardiac arrest, after the operation. We all were sure that he will live and everything's fine. But suddenly it happened. Most Terrifying thing is you are never prepared to believe that you may lose your loved ones while they are being treated in the ICU.
it looks like a video of a screen, if it were a simulation on a computer they’d probably just use a screen recording of some kind, but since you can’t do that with heart monitors…. it seems more likely to be real
@@blizzard_the_seal9863 i mean they could be recording a simulation that's on a screen, i'm pretty sure if this was an actual person then we would have heard other noises than the beeping, like nurses and doctors giving each other instructions etc. around the dying person
@@auugh43546 heart attack is when blood vessels in the heart are blocked, cardiac arrest is when the heart just stops pumping and quivers. not the same
This is the first time I see actual footage of a heart monitor from the hospital. The complete silence in the flat line is far more morbid than any long beep in any movie.
The lowest my heart rate ever got was 36 bpm. I was not all there at that time. I just remember nurses coming in and strapping something to me and putting a machine over me. I was very out of it. I remember nurses telling me I was their favorite patient of the night. That stuck with me. But it was probably just because I laid there limp and didn’t give them crap lol.
I'm so glad I learned cpr in primary school because we don't have much time to save a life, sometimes if you break a rib, you don't care because all you gotta do is save someone's life
0:01 S-T elevation 0:03 PVC has been noticed on the monitor 0:22 Normal sinus rhythm for only 2 beats 0:24 Ventricular tachycardia has begun 0:36 Ventricular fibrillation has started. Fun fact, one of the most common yet deadliest cardiac arrest arrhythmias there is. 0:51 Fine ventricular fibrillation, a lot harder to respond to defibrillation. 1:03 Asystole: dead or dying patient
I find it fascinating how our mind automatically feels frightened recognizing this, due to how we naturally relate this sound to death. It's the same process that makes animal fear red: it is the color of blood, of death.
Those who have different views are not the majority, also the difference is often made just of color shapes, for example darker or brighter but it doesn't change much
To be honest, I don't think this fear of ECG beeping, you are talking about, is really that universal in people. I mean, maybe it works for you, but for exemple I am not frightened by it in any way, although I know that it is associated with death, of course. And don't get me wrong, I'm not fearless or pretending to not fear death. For exemple, a sight of stranger with an opened/uncovered blade at the street at night will (obviously, lol) scare me and trigger fight or flight response. I guess it may largely depened on personal experience. I haven't spent much time in hospitals, so I may not associate this sound with any strong emotions.
Well I didn't assume that every single human being fears this noise but for sure it is generically associated to danger. I've not been in hospitals that much times but still it is not a nice sound for me
Well, technically blood, and therefore its color, should be the color of life as without it we would die. Most animals arent even afraid of the color i think. It just appears less often in nature.
If the ventricles are contracting super fast and give you V tach, they are pumping only tablespoons of blood out due to the extremely fast heart rate. That isn't enough to supply the heart itself, let alone the whole body. From this point it can either spontaneously terminate into a slower rhythm like accelerated ventricular rhythm or sinus rhythm with AV block to supply itself and the body with blood(paroxysmal V tach) or it can start spasming and not pumping any blood out(V fib). As the V fib gets worse it slowly decays into asystole and at that point, only adrenaline can help with it.
@@iluvcherriezz Also, Adrenaline is basically always used in CPR, however, many, many studies have shown that high quality CPR with good compressions of the chest and useful ventilation of the lungs is what keeps the organs alive long enough for the best heart-restarter out there, a defibrillator, to try and restart your pump. Adrenaline is usually used simultaneously, however, it has become pretty clear over the years that defibrillation has a much higher success rate. It's almost like "dumb doctors" do actually know what they're doing.
As an EMS professional, I see this all the time. You definitely do get used to it. It's a normal part of the cycle of life. What can really get to you is *how* it happened.
@@JohnnyWishbone85 (Just clarifying this for everyone else) No matter how used to death a medical professional is, a friend or family member dying still feels the same.

It actually goes from Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) to Ventricular Tachycardia to Long Wave Ventricular Fibrillation to Short Wave Ventricular Fibrillation to Asystole.
1st stage: 0:00 almost no S-T segment. ventricles contract, but only for a moment • 0:03 premature ventricular contraction, can result in v-fib 2nd stage: 0:24 ventricular tachycardia, needs defib immediately to restore sinus rhythm. 3rd stage: 0:37 ventricular fibrillation, heart is twitching without rhythm, very dangerous and needs defib immediately. • 0:54 finer waves, lower chances of restoring normal rhythm. 4th stage: 1:05 asystole/flatline. heart is dying and patient is beyond hope of recovery. however, defibrillation may be administered if needed.
Couldn’t you still use your defibrillator on higher joules and still make an attempt at restoring beat? I also thought 180 sec without oxygen would begin to cause irreparable damage. I would imagine thousands of cardiac muscle cells per second were being lost, but what about the neurones in the brain?
@@FemboyEngineerit is possible, however, unlike what the movies make it out to be, defibrillators actually have a very low chance of working. if no oxygen enters the brain after 2-3 minutes, the brain cells start to die. by then the patient is beyond saving. so yes, you are correct.
The mother of my dad, which was his last parent (His dad died when my father was 18, he saw him die in the hospital) , died during the quarantine.

The silence can be deafening. Currently on year 2 of volunteer fire/rescue and every time a call comes in that gets marked DOA by the medic, the rig goes silent. No one talks, no one moves, the driver just drives and we wait to do what we're trained to do, and ride back home in silence.
The silence is deafening. I can only imagine the horrible sense of dread and grief as you watch the person’s last signs of life quietly fade.

0:03 you can see a premature ventricular contraction. Especially can result in ventricular fibrillation if happens at a vulnerable moment like the middle of T-wave.
0:10 premature ventricular contractions back to back can be seen here.
0:22 this is the first time we see a correct ECG pattern so far. It’s only lasts a single cycle.
0:25 marks the start of ventricular tachycardia. One of two patterns that require a defibrillator. If not treated, can cause ventricular fibrillation.
0:37 ventricular fibrillation is starting. Blood pressure is zero. Heart is just twitching without a pattern, blood is not being pumped. Approximately 5 minutes until brain death. Defibrillation is required immediately.
0:53 you can see much finer waves now. Much harder to treat. Less likely to respond to defibrillation.
1:05 all cardiac impulses stop. Hypoxia resulted from ventricular fibrillation is making heart tissue ischemic. Heart is dying.

0:00 | Multifocal PVCs with an ST Elevation begin,
0:22 | R on T phenomenon happens when the PVC lands directly on a T wave. Heart rhythm transfers to Ventricular Tachycardia
0:35 | Rhythm transfers into a Ventricular Fibrillation, where ventricles quiver instead of beat, it will become fine VF in moments, which are electrical signals on the ECG are greater than 3mm in height
0:48 | VF waves become finer and smaller, indicating the heart is quivering less powerfully, this will lead to Asystole where the heart stops completely.
1:02 | Heart stops beating completely, no more electrical activity or contractions. No oxygen to the body will cause brain death if not treated immediately

what was the first 27 second arrhythmias ? Seemed to be pacs pvcs?
Just to relieve some anxiety, I worked as a cardiac monitor tech at a hospital, and I have never seen anyone go through the fatal process shown here in this short amount of time. I believe this is a simulation. From what I saw this process typically took many minutes or hours, and with medical intervention the odds were very good to save the patient. Obviously there are fatal cardiac events that happens suddenly, but for a huge majority of patients I was always surprised at just how resilient the heart was. You realize it when you are monitoring a 90 year old lady in AFib with a heart rate of 200+bpm for 2 weeks, who is just acting normal and walking around her hospital room. We even saw people in ventricular tachycardia who were fully awake and reported having no symptoms.
thanks

Thank you. This is one of the kindest comments I found on TH-cam. Really. I don't know how I got here but in the end I was really unwell. It was a real relief to read you. Wish you the best.
@@whywhy7692Thanks that made my day :) Whenever you have a chance try to get an EKG at a doctor's visit or hospital so they have a baseline in the future and can spot existing conditions. I think they typically wait until you're 40, but I think it's a good idea for everyone to have a baseline. If you ever have a cardiac event, they can compare it to your baseline (which is unique) and it can help significantly with diagnosis. Just make sure you try to get it with the same medical system your ER is in so they have it in their electronic records.
This is definitely a simulation, the morphology is too smooth and perfect. The single cycle of perfect sinus rhythm before v tach also gives it away.
The fact that a person experiencing SCA (Sudden Cardiac Arrest) only has 45-75 Seconds to be is terrifying, and the fact that all medical staff react even faster is insane, Kudos to all medical staff out there for making the world ten times better.

You can see from the start that it is a Myocardial Infarction, the ECG has that cleared for us, you can definitely see it, and if any medic can't see this and treat the patient for a Myocardial Infarction in the first 10-25 secs giving medications he should have his licence revoked.

For those that want to know the ecg, this patient was going through a myocardial ischemia ( heart attack) in which Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) are very common due to damaged heart tissue. Sometimes this PVC occur during vulnerable periods of cardiac cycle ( R ON T PHENOMENON) leading to Ventricular tachycardia which then leads to Ventricular fibrillation and finally cardiac arrest.
Infarction and Ischemia are kinda different though (one causes the other, one is reversible, the other isn't). Heart Attacks are Myocardial Infarctions. Myocardial Ischemia will inevitably lead to Infarction. Other than that, you're completely correct. The elevated ST intervals indicated ischemia has degraded to infarction, which most likely would be an STEMI, which is the most lethal of all heart attack types.

These days kids are being taught early on in school how to help someone going into cardiac arrest or having a heart attack making a brighter future for all of us.
Let's break this down so no one else is confused, so here we go.
0:00: Here we see ST elevations, indicative of a STEMI, or widow maker heart attack.
0:03: Here we see the first premature ventricular contraction, becoming multifocal only moments later. Can be very dangerous if it occurs during T wave, called an R on T phenomenon.
0:10: Here we see 2 PVC's in a row, called a couplet.
0:17: 2nd PVC couplet. Condition worsening.
0:22: Here we see the first normal beat, immediately followed by a PVC. Dangerous R on T phenomenon is occurring.
0:24: R on T phenomenon has led to an extremely dangerous rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. Cardiac output is very minimal. Patient may or may not be responsive. Can lead to VF if not treated immediately.
0:37: Ventricular fibrillation is starting. Heart is quivering instead of beating. Patient is pulseless. Zero cardiac output. Immediate defibrillation is needed. Can lead to death if not treated immediately. Will become finer over time.
0:53: Much finer waves now. Much harder to treat. Less likely to respond to defibrillation. Death is imminent.
1:03: Fine VF evolves into asystole. All cardiac impulses stop. No oxygen to brain or rest of body. Requires CPR. Patient is dying or already dead. Chance of survival is less than 10%. Notify family.

Damn, this brought me back to when I was in a local hospital, I think I was admitted for a severe asthma attack (I was like 5 years old), I was left alone in the ward because it's night time already and visitors aren't allow to visit anymore, I remember hearing this sound from inside the same ward I was in and it was terrifying, I woke up around 2 AM or something to the sound of profuse bleeping and suddenly a monitor just flatlined, I didn't knew what that was when I was little but now that I grew up, I knew that that means someone died, so witnessing someone dying in the same ward is scary, especially at night and everyone is asleep, I think that person was just a few rows away from me and the next day I woke up, that person was gone.

I know right.
me at 3 am eating funyuns and looking up heartbeat flatline and then this comes on: huh
I can't believe I was so close to this happening to me. For most of 2018, my heart rate was in the 30's and 40's, and doctors couldn't figure out why or what to do. It would occasionally spike when i was stand up, but starting in the fall it didn't even have the strength to do that, it just stayed low. My health was at the point that I couldn't walk without help and breathing was difficult, and as a last ditch effort, they were going to implant a heart monitor inside my chest to see if they could find anything.
By the grace of God, on the operating table, they quickly realized I needed a pacemaker. So what was supposed to be a 30 minute surgery turned into an 8 hour one, as they decided to do the pacemaker instead of the monitor (I had used heart monitors before, but never inside my chest like they planned here)
Before i woke up, I was sure I was going to die in a few months. When I woke up, everything felt better. I was still weak, the surgery aftermath was painful and walking was hard. But my breathing was normal again, it was like waking up in a new body.
Through testing they saw that my heart quickly, within a couple weeks, lost its ability to beat at all without a pacemaker assisting, meaning the pacemaker works 100% of the day. It also meant that 2 or 3 weeks after the day of the surgery, if I hadn't gotten the pacemaker, my heart would've stopped.
I stared death in the face for most of that year. I've had numerous health issues since, some just as painful, like rheumatoid arthritis which I'm currently on chemotherapy for. All of this happening and I'm only 19, the heart issues started at age 15.
But I'll always be grateful, extremely grateful, that I was on the edge of death and got to wake up from the operating table with decades left of my life. Most people in my situation never got that opportunity 🙏
I hope you have a great life
damn.
Never underestimate anything.
It could happen any second.
I hope that your pacemaker will cease to beat 300 years from now. Live a peaceful life. ✌️

He also saved my grandma in February of this year, he was supposed to be going out but was delayed. My grandma started properly choking on some food and if he wasn’t there to help her and call the ambulance, she would have been gone. I’m next to her right now.
My uncle sadly passed away last month in an accident. He saved both his parents, and in the end one of his parents outlived him. Life is strange AF sometimes…

He ended up getting into a drinking addiction (He was never violent towards anybody when he was drunk) and died roughly ten years later, on May 11, 2022. Thing is, my grandmother outlived him, but my grandfather passed away in February of 2014. Guys, don't drink, it can really ruin your life, no matter how much of a good person you are.

The fact that We just watched someone die right in front of our eyes just makes it disturbing and sad.
It's a simulator for med school it's not actually someone passing away
@@Maseo. oh thanks for telling as I was sad after watching this
@@shibrajdey4764 yeah I understand and you're welcome. I think this touches everyone differently it has a depressing sad kind of feel to it but don't worry although this is a very real thing that happens this here shown in the video is only a simulator used for med school so it's not someone actually passing away.
Oh alright
@N Y i didnot know it was just a simulation
I thought it was real and people were making fun of it then only i said them not to make fun of it
It's fascinating seeing the logistic equation in such a scenario. First it's a normal cycle, then it oscillates between two points, then four, eight and so on. Until it flatlines, which in the equation is when the graph becomes chaotic. Fascinating that such a simple equation can explain such complex behaviour.
A moment of silence for the silence at the end.
I think I shouldn't have laughed at that comment...

Guys, be close to your family, do not disappoint them while they are. Sooner or later the moment will come when we all die. Therefore, we must live life so that at the end of lying at death we do not regret.
Damn dude I try not to disappoint my family but I do anyway
Disappointment is not something you have control over. But you can atleast be by their side.
Always disappoint your family members so they don't face the pain of losing someone that they loved so much, when you die....life hacks...😢😓
@@narayanabhishek dude you need help?
@@farhan3565 Thanks for asking, I'm fine 🙏🏻
I’ve seen this many times as a tele tech, and it never gets easier to watch.
Damn this really hits home as someone who experienced a heart attack. I now experience PVC's every day for the past 4 years ever since (although they make up a super tiny percentage of my heartbeats), and am on beta blockers. Overall my health is completely normal now, I'm in good shape and I exercise often, and my doctor says the PVC's are completely harmless, but still, whenever I get them I cannot help but have a lingering feeling of dread.
I am sorry :( you are so strong. ❤keep taking care of yourself and keep pushing. Prayers to you.
@@julianajacksonnn thank you that is very kind :) God bless you
This ain't a heart attack.
@@tupakkaonhyvaa Any information to back yourself up?
@@LiterallyClay Yes. This ain't a heart attack, this is cardiac arrest.
Amazing how fast the ventricular tachycardia transforms into fibrillation.
Months pass my dear reader, yet I am brought back here to read a reply or two. I still can't help but admire the Morbid beauty of this twisted process. And the fact that it can happen to any one of us and in such a painfully short time.
It was only a few seconds really. And all it took was 61 seconds from the first arrhythmic beat to asystole. That's scary fas.
The muscles of the heart cannot sustain VTach for long and it will just start to fatigue and quiver into fibrillation when there’s no circulating electrolytes to correct the dysrhythmia.
What
What (2)
This is done with a machine to teach. The patient would of been cardioverted or defibrillated during the sequence.
You see this in the monitor room rarely, even on telemetry units, but there is always that one patient who throws 6-7 beats of vtach my way. Sometimes 18 beats, which is enough for you to crap yourself...
Tru
Yeah..
One time, i was getting treatment for an injury (wont tell what for privacy reasons) and they had a heart rate monitor hooked up to me. I constantly looked at it for most of the procedure and then my heart decided to start a few beats of v-tach and i saw the nurse's face was like this: 😳
Thankfully it recovered after a few seconds. I think it was just a glitch.
@@heal0152 i think that if vtach hapens for less than 30 sec. Its not deadli
It happens to you without any desease and genetic syndromes?
@@oppok5657 correct less than 30 sec is termed a "run of vtach" and over 30 sec is sustained vtach. sustained vtach patient more likely to lose a pulse
I've seen this device before. It was really scary. It was given to my father when he had a brain hemorrhage. My father was in a coma, but he's now healed. I destroyed the woman who was next to my father with a heart attack. This really happened to her. I was always afraid for my father that this would happen to him, but now he is better and in good health. I thank God for this.
This is the first day he goes to work from four months away I hope that he lasts health and wellness and for all parents
I’ve never felt so damn small in my life, the joy of life can be easily taken away...
This is anxiety provoking
I felt my own heart thumping away while watching this! Scary.
My grandpa escaped the germans in Narvik in ww2 as a soldier of age 19 and died of his third heart attack alone in his bedroom at age 80. hes last actions was fumbling with some papers that were seen tossed on the floor along with himself. He loved drinking, I wish I got to know him better.
This is so scary. Literally feels like you're watching a dear one die.
0:00 You can see the frequency dropping (which is commonly a sign of a cardiac arrest)
0:24 start of ventricular fibrillation (refers to that waves that you see in the ecg which commonly leads to a cardiac arrest.)
0:37 Asystole begins (small wave fibrillation | also refers to that dropping electrical activity in the heart.)
0:41 sudden drop in blood pressure
1:05 Electrical activity in the heart stops completely.
In the event of a cardiac arrest, CPR is necessary (30 pumps 2 breaths) In this case, defibrillation is needed. Idk if this is also IRL but incorporate the usage of adrenaline, and amiodarone. When in asystole, use atropine.
I only gathered knowledge from a simulator so you can roast me all you want.
@FlochBasedKing yes as I identify ventricular tachycardia it’s a rhythm that has a very high rate (usually 300-500 BPM) then seemingly has all four chambers of the heart beat at once And if left untreated can also be identified when the patient goes into v-fib
Also Cardiac Arrest in the cpr procedure you don’t need to breaths that is only in the case of a clogged airway or The person that isn’t breathing
@@help6606 oh okay :DD
Like I said there's some mistakes in here because I just learned this from a simulator :))
@@cantedsxghtgaming3393 ok just was checking because if you have A far away hospital and no AED or defibrillator if you did that for a long amount of time The amount of time now I was talking to get a protective barrier to stop pathogens and a time to actually take the breaths could add up causing lack of blood flow to the brain You only perform that when the patient is not breathing because the chest compressions to make the person breath and breaths to keep the lungs from a pneumothorax (because the diaphragm isn’t working)
This has to be one of the scariest things I have ever seen.
especially at 0:24
This is a comforting thing to get in my recommended after having a sudden irregularly high heartbeat for no reason.
Also, I like how one of the given reasons for CCT in the description is ”decapitation”
0:01 VPB (Ventricular Premature Beat)
0:24 VT (Ventricular Tachycardia)
0:37 VF (Ventricular Fibrillation)
the anxiety I get from watching the heartrate start stable, them fall into arrhythmia, then pure intensity, then slowly dying off.
It's terrifying how easily our lives can be taken from us
same bro
Lost my uncle few days ago. He was a diabetes patient as well as had problem in the kidney. He died in ICU due to cardiac arrest, after the operation. We all were sure that he will live and everything's fine. But suddenly it happened. Most Terrifying thing is you are never prepared to believe that you may lose your loved ones while they are being treated in the ICU.
I’m so thankful right now becuase my grandpa almost died from kidney failure and I’m just so blessed to have him here
The worst part is that we may never be 100% sure if this was a simulation or an actual cardiac arrest
it looks like a video of a screen, if it were a simulation on a computer they’d probably just use a screen recording of some kind, but since you can’t do that with heart monitors…. it seems more likely to be real
@@blizzard_the_seal9863 why would they have a camera right infront of the heart monitor
@@blizzard_the_seal9863 i mean they could be recording a simulation that's on a screen, i'm pretty sure if this was an actual person then we would have heard other noises than the beeping, like nurses and doctors giving each other instructions etc. around the dying person

@@Opethfeldt no he doesnt, he copied from another commentary.
The lowest my heart rate ever got was 36 bpm. I was not all there at that time. I just remember nurses coming in and strapping something to me and putting a machine over me. I was very out of it. I remember nurses telling me I was their favorite patient of the night. That stuck with me. But it was probably just because I laid there limp and didn’t give them crap lol.
my minimum heart rate was 56, usual 72-76, and maximum 182 (this is with a normal heart)
The lowest my heartrate i ever got was 45 bpm. This only happens when im sleeping.

That silence after the final heartbeats was horrifying. Even my inner ADHD dialogue went dead silent that’s how scary this is
0:01 S-T elevation
0:03 PVC has been noticed on the monitor
0:22 Normal sinus rhythm for only 2 beats
0:24 Ventricular tachycardia has begun
0:36 Ventricular fibrillation has started. Fun fact, one of the most common yet deadliest cardiac arrest arrhythmias there is.
0:51 Fine ventricular fibrillation, a lot harder to respond to defibrillation.
1:03 Asystole: dead or dying patient
Ventricular fibrillation is dyssrhythmia
Ik
As a non-med person, i like this explanation
The ST elevation implies ischemia correct?
I find it fascinating how our mind automatically feels frightened recognizing this, due to how we naturally relate this sound to death.
It's the same process that makes animal fear red: it is the color of blood, of death.
I don't really think they're scared of the red, since they don't all have the same vision as us, humans.
Those who have different views are not the majority, also the difference is often made just of color shapes, for example darker or brighter but it doesn't change much
To be honest, I don't think this fear of ECG beeping, you are talking about, is really that universal in people. I mean, maybe it works for you, but for exemple I am not frightened by it in any way, although I know that it is associated with death, of course.
And don't get me wrong, I'm not fearless or pretending to not fear death. For exemple, a sight of stranger with an opened/uncovered blade at the street at night will (obviously, lol) scare me and trigger fight or flight response.
I guess it may largely depened on personal experience. I haven't spent much time in hospitals, so I may not associate this sound with any strong emotions.
Well I didn't assume that every single human being fears this noise but for sure it is generically associated to danger. I've not been in hospitals that much times but still it is not a nice sound for me
Well, technically blood, and therefore its color, should be the color of life as without it we would die. Most animals arent even afraid of the color i think. It just appears less often in nature.
Process from PVC, V Tach, V Fib and Asystole. Amazingly Demonstated.
Did anyone else find it weird how the electrical activity turned into a decaying sinusoid? Why did it do that?
If the ventricles are contracting super fast and give you V tach, they are pumping only tablespoons of blood out due to the extremely fast heart rate. That isn't enough to supply the heart itself, let alone the whole body. From this point it can either spontaneously terminate into a slower rhythm like accelerated ventricular rhythm or sinus rhythm with AV block to supply itself and the body with blood(paroxysmal V tach) or it can start spasming and not pumping any blood out(V fib). As the V fib gets worse it slowly decays into asystole and at that point, only adrenaline can help with it.
Caters Carrots your smart dude
Matthew Ferrie w-what..?
Caters Carrots THEN WHY DID DUMB DOCTORS DIDNT USE THE ADRENALINE?!
@@iluvcherriezz Also, Adrenaline is basically always used in CPR, however, many, many studies have shown that high quality CPR with good compressions of the chest and useful ventilation of the lungs is what keeps the organs alive long enough for the best heart-restarter out there, a defibrillator, to try and restart your pump. Adrenaline is usually used simultaneously, however, it has become pretty clear over the years that defibrillation has a much higher success rate.
It's almost like "dumb doctors" do actually know what they're doing.
What trips me out is that some doctors are like: *“Welp, another day on the job…”*
As an EMS professional, I see this all the time. You definitely do get used to it. It's a normal part of the cycle of life. What can really get to you is *how* it happened.
@@JohnnyWishbone85 (Just clarifying this for everyone else) No matter how used to death a medical professional is, a friend or family member dying still feels the same.
There is always another patient waiting for us. The triumphs help us accept the failures.
Doctors: He's in Cardiac Arrest, get a crash cart now! Push one of epi, charge to 50. Clear!
Push another 0.5 cc epi. Charge to 100 J. Clear!
Ohh goodness gracious, doesn't look like sinus rhythm at all...

@@moonlover5544 You just repeated what I just said... Why?
1st stage: 0:00
almost no S-T segment. ventricles contract, but only for a moment
• 0:03 premature ventricular contraction, can result in v-fib
2nd stage: 0:24
ventricular tachycardia, needs defib immediately to restore sinus rhythm.
3rd stage: 0:37
ventricular fibrillation, heart is twitching without rhythm, very dangerous and needs defib immediately.
• 0:54 finer waves, lower chances of restoring normal rhythm.
4th stage: 1:05
asystole/flatline. heart is dying and patient is beyond hope of recovery. however, defibrillation may be administered if needed.
Couldn’t you still use your defibrillator on higher joules and still make an attempt at restoring beat? I also thought 180 sec without oxygen would begin to cause irreparable damage. I would imagine thousands of cardiac muscle cells per second were being lost, but what about the neurones in the brain?
@@FemboyEngineerit is possible, however, unlike what the movies make it out to be, defibrillators actually have a very low chance of working.
if no oxygen enters the brain after 2-3 minutes, the brain cells start to die. by then the patient is beyond saving. so yes, you are correct.
I remember seeing this pattern when I was 6 in the ecg attached to my grandmother.
Even without knowing anything about heartbeats I knew she was dying
I love my grandmother so much see passed away . I can not even show my fillings
The mother of my dad, which was his last parent (His dad died when my father was 18, he saw him die in the hospital) , died during the quarantine. Not because of covid, but because she didn't want to eat because she knew she wouldn't stay alive for that long. She suffered of the Parkinson's disease. She was slowly loosing her brain cells. So... She wanted to end that, the doctors in the hospital made her death the least painful possible, as they accepted her choice.
I didn't see her for 1 year and a half. And the last time I saw her was her photo on the fucking coffin
When saw this, I remembered my beloved friend who died of a cardiac arrest. So, I'm literally crying here. This is so painfull💔
omg I'm so sorry 😞
I'm sorry for your loss, I hope your doing all good.
I was surprised that it's not bleeping at the end like in every single movie
I like to imagine that the doctor was focusing on filming this rather then actually saving the patient.
