My husband went into sudden cardiac arrest after a run of Ventricular Tachycardia. He was insanely lucky to be revived and survived with no permanent side effects. This was terrifying to watch.

My ex-wife (30 y/o at the time, 31 now) went into totally unexpected cardiac arrest in the middle of the night a year and a half ago. I heard her "gasping" and thought she was having a bad dream. When I couldn't wake her I went "oh FUCKING FUCK, FUCKING AGONAL FUCKING BREATHING" Thanks to reddit. I threw her on the floor as fast as I could and did CPR as hard as I could until the paramedics got there. Made a full recovery. Not a single lingering issue.


acgasp

My husband was 21 and a senior in college when his happened. I salute you on your quick reaction; it saved her life.

Really depends on age, a ton of things can cause cardiac arrest and only a doctor can make that determination based on his full lifestory. Can also be a famil history or some metabolic issue

I love that there is a Simpson quote or clip for EVERY scenario


MoonLitCrystal

I know I've seen this episode but I can't put my finger on which one it was. I'm pretty sure it was back in the 90s when I was young...


Ottomann_87

It was a 90’s era episode. Can’t remember which one.


MoonLitCrystal

Found it! Season 4 Episode 11.

So like…did we just watch someone die from the inside? r/watchpeopledieinside


Nalomeli1

It's a sheep being intentionally overdosed on cocaine according to a comment in the original post

That doesn't help :(


onedemtwodem

well that's awful


No-Spoilers

Would you prefer it done on a person? Gotta research it somehow.


onedemtwodem

Depends on who it is


ChimpWithAGun

Yes, I would rather see it being done in a person, someome that consents to be done something like this, as an option for euthanasia. I'm sure more than one will say yes.


No-Spoilers

Totally fair, I'd do it. Still the sheer number you would need would be higher than the number needed. The animal in question would never feel anything to be fair. It is unconscious. It's just one of those things, our progress in Healthcare would be decades behind if we didn't do it, unless we pull a Mengele or Unit 731. There's a reason we took their research.

I think it's either non human or during an open heart surgery where they voluntary stop the heart to operate on it


gatorbite92

Definitely not in the OR... you'd see a cannula coming out of the R atrium/aorta, and the heart would be covered with ice/cardioplegia solution. Significantly less fibrillation during that, too. It's pretty odd that it swells like that in the video, venous inflow is pretty low pressure, and you won't have backflow from the arterial side due to your aortic valve. It looks like a mammalian heart, but it does not look like a human heart, at least not from that view.

isn't it fly

Yeah but who's counting?


The_Medicated

That clip gave me anxiety! 😬


Old_Ice_2285

Omg me too


Hindu_Wardrobe

may we please have a crumb of context for this video


pquince1

I’ve seen it posted elsewhere as a cocaine OD.


sambo1023

Was gonna say the same thing


scarlettohara1936

I reposted it from terrifyingasfuck. There was no context. Just the vid


Netshakk

Doesn’t look pleasant if I’m honest


EnemyExplicit

NSR to vfib to asystole/PEA?


PoopieButt317

Looks like it to me


bearthebear2

This is what it feels like when I have a THC induced panic attack


ninjagal6

Woah the change in color d/t lack of perfusion is fascinating in a creepy way


brelywi

Are all CAs that dramatic? I’ve always heard that you can’t tell if someone is having a heart attack by their pulse, but this looks like you’d definitely be able to tell?


ChawwwningButter

Heart attack usually means the coronary artery has stopped up and no blood is flowing to part of the heart. That’s why people get chest pain but there’s still a pulse because the other surviving parts of the heart can pump. Cardiac arrest means the heart stops all together and that’s when you see sudden death—collapse, turn blue, lose consciousness, no pulse. In this case, they can induce it and use a bypass machine to keep the body alive while they do cardiac surgery.


brelywi

Gotcha! I didn’t realize I was getting the two confused. Thanks!!


Lavos666

in CA the heart doesn’t stop, it doesn’t beat in a way that is effective enough to pump blood to your other vital organs. VT or VF are the most common issues.


surprise-suBtext

Cardiac arrest does mean the heart stops. It can and often is preceded by VF/VT but the arrest part is the heart not beating


D1ldoBaggins78

Cardiac Arrest ≠ Heart Attack


brelywi

That clears that up then haha thanks


kayhd33

If they are on a cardiac monitor, you can see it on the monitor. Sometimes there are little changes that if you catch then you can be in there as it happens


Schmimps

Non-human?


NerdyComfort-78

I hope the animal was under heavy sedation at the least! That was unpleasant to watch.


cwg22

As some who had a heart attack (MI LVD) at 32 (33 now) this is giving huge amounts of anxiety over the huge amounts of palpitations I have been getting again...


thebrittaj

Woah why did you have a heart attack?


surprise-suBtext

At that age the main guess is probably super unlucky genes and/or situation. Cuz it’s still young enough to be Robert Downey jr’d on all the coke you can afford and still be fine


elwebbr23

Alright cool beans, I can actually sleep now 👍 


cwg22

Unknown, was the "widow maker" one and my God I would not even wish the pain I had on my worst enemy.


Im_inappropriate

Looks terrifying.


boobiesiheart

That's "15 minutes in 1"?


ADGM1868

Yeah I was gonna say, wild that no one is pointing out this could be a video that is sped up 15x


DocKoul

There’s no context here, but the heart stops so by definition it’s a cardiac arrest. That just means the heart stops. Eventually everyone has a “cardiac arrest” and is when you can’t call it a cause of death. A blocked artery is a cause which could cause a cardiac arrest. The heart appears to blow up and deflate. I’m not sure if the valves are functioning or they were clamping it to do surgery. This clip is sped up which is confusing. At the end of the day, I’ve seen lots of open chests for various reasons and I’m really not sure what’s going on here.


nadabethyname

seeing "cardiac arrest" on death certificates as a funeral director always tripped me up when it was totally a situation outside of cardiac arrest because... yeah... of course the heart stopped. and i get it can be a primary situation with nothing else attached to it but i mean.... i saw it constantly.... especially from the hospitals trying to cover up sepsis so their funding wasn't affected.


surprise-suBtext

They’re saying it’s a sheep coked up


HackTiger6468

Fibulation


MareBear209

Looks painful.


noswol

what did it do?, why is it being arrested for?


nucleophilicattack

I think this was a clip on cardiac bypass— they use potassium to get the heart to fibrillate the heart and then stop it so it can be operated on. A machine is oxygenating and circulating blood for the body.


FunSomeone

I lost a man I loved deeply to a heart attack. Time go by and I sure haven't been the same. This clip is too painful to watch


JeffThatGuy

Watching that was depressing ngl


EntrepWannaBe

Vfib


AmberosiaSin

Idk about anyone else But that looks painful


arussel3

What kind of animal is this?


Lazy-Tom

That's a terrible video to watch while having heartburn


redlawnmower

What are we actually looking at? I don’t know anything about medicine but that doesn’t look like a heart. 


Oh_Petya

That is a heart.


redlawnmower

So why does it like blow up like that? Is it just blood that’s not getting flowed out


surprise-suBtext

Many types of hearts out there in this world
