I am now educated on identifying forbidden snoring. Thank you, Dark Science.

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.

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.

Our brains run at 11 MHz? Not mine. I overclock it with Adderall.

my grandfather died this way in palative care. he had breathing like that for hours, his body jolting up every time like he had been shocked, but still had a heartbeat. one of the family (we were all there) noticed his heart had stop beating in a very long pause between gasps and i leaned over him to kiss his head and say goodbye...only for his body to jolt up one last time. even in the moment it was morbidly funny, even if it was one of the most painful moments of my life. i'm kind of glad i have that moment to look back on though, its the kind of thing he would laugh at.

6:24 Fyi, if you do cpr like that you arent helping. Push deep and hard with your whole body weight. Crack ribs, it might just save a life.

Today i learned the brain is an ungrateful oxygen glutton

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.

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

I hope to never witness this kind of breathing. It sounds nothing short of horrifying after you watch a few videos out there.

EMT here, I've seen agonal breathing multiple times. It's not always a snoring pattern

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.

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

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!!!

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.. 😣

AG1 I will NEVER buy your product.

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 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.
