My dad had the LVAD. He passed away last Nov waiting on a heart transplant😢I miss him everyday.
I’m really sorry for your loss, I really hope I can have my dad live with me for the longest time, I hope your dad is in a better place.
May he rest in peace . 😢😢
So sorry for your loss
I'm sorry 😔
Big chungus is very sorry for you. But seriously I am very very sorry for your loss I hope he can rest in peace and is in a better place.
Imagine being in a coma for years and then waking up in 2020...Yikes
This is the best time in history to be alive. Some weird ideas have become mainstream which is the only downside in my opinion.
Why does this thought cross your mind

Imagine going in coma in 2004, just after Arsenal went invincible, then waking up now 😂😂😂.

Respiratory Therapist here. I have took care of many patients that are on mechanical ventilation, it is indeed very uncomfortable for many patients imagine having a machine force a breath for you when you don’t want it at that time. Another thing PEEP is usually used to help stint the alveoli open to improve oxygenation. Many patients can talk while having a tracheostomy tube in provided they have the correct equipment (Passy-Muir valve) and patients normally would say it is more comfortable being trach vs ETT intubation.
Shout out to you and all our other Respiratory brothers and sisters. We are all front and center in this pandemic.
I knew there was a use for PEEPs even though I never liked them that much. 😏

@RAY RAY why?
Ego system first, Grampa last.
@RAY RAY if you are on life support than how are you alive?
I've been on life support before. I was only on it for 24 hours because my heart stopped to ensure my survival. It's like putting your life in the hands of a soulless machine. It's a horrible experience that removes your independence. I hope I never go through it again. I was 13 at the time
My son spent 36hrs in a medically induced coma, he did nothing for himself. Intubation was horrible but seeing it come out was worse.
He was septic and after 36hrs came out ok,
5yrs after he is perfect and happy.
Congratulations
@@ravnitesanchez6183 to put it simply, septic means that you have an infection thats spread throughout the body.
@@cutiebear5700 ahhh, ty. im so sorry :(
That's amazing! I was in a vent and in a medical induced coma for 4 days. From sepsis
From an abscess in my arm that I went to the hospital to get it taken out, I was put into a medical induced coma for almost a week because my blood became sepsis and I had walking pneumonia on top of that. Luckily I came out ok but it was definitely a scary time
I was on life support and a medically induced coma. It's not great. It is truly what I think being dead is like
If you don't mind me asking... what happened that made you have to use life support? Sorry that you even had to go on it at all, but glad your still here!!!😥😁
@@aricherry363 sure. I'm a diabetic and went into a thing called dka. My blood turned to acid and I started vomiting. I got pneumonia, so bad I had to be on a tube. That last thing I remember is falling asleep on an ambulance cot. The next thing I remember is waking up in the ICU with tubes in my nose and arms.
@@basedbuz Is it type 1 or 2? Just curious. My friend has type 1 and its permanent. He has to get shots for his blood sugar levels I believe like everyday. I could barely stand getting blood taken once.
@@unknownsignals2789 yup I'm a type 1

"What is it actually like being on life support"
I just watched the whole video and still have no idea what it's like on life support. I just have a huge list of different types of life support.
@Pacha Kundu yeah innit
I’ve had an NG tube and it’s just uncomfortable. You get used to it after a few hours tho. It’s also dependent on the type of feeding you’re on. I had both 24 hour and supplemental when I was transitioning back into eating actual food. It’s not that bad
I’m already on life support because of all of my problems.
:(
@Deshaun Hairston its not that easy tho
@Deshaun Hairston lol
Take a dip in a really hot bath.
Just bathe in rice
I was put in a drug induced coma after I was in F4 tornado. I laid on top of my 2 lil boys ages 3 & 6 saving them. I “coded” 7x in 2 different hospitals.
Had 2 collapsed lungs, so I hardly could breath
Several injuries to my back, crushing my T12,
5 broken ribs
Severe head trauma. Doctors thought they would end up putting me on Life Support.
150 staples to my head alone
Paralyzed from waist down
They told my family if I were to live best case scenario I would be a “vegetable” living in a Nursing Home the rest of my life. I was only 34yrs old. (BUT I saved my boys lives so that is all that mattered to me)
I would always take my ET,
respirator off while still in the coma. After doing it a handful of times they took me out of coma. I was evening trying to communicate while with family by taking my husbands arm and “air” writing asking about our boys. 7 days later I was flown to Shepard Center in Atlanta. I amazed my doctors every step of the way proving them wrong at every turn.
My mom was hit by a dump truck on the highway on the way to town and she was put on life support. I’m so thankful my mom is alive 😭
My girlfriend had to be put into a medical coma after her body rejected her bone marrow transplant when she was dealing with she second round leukemia as a child.
She was on life support for a while. Doctors even said she wasn't going make it and began to ask her mom if they would like to pull her off. They said no. And a few weeks later, she woke up.
She still had to have machines help for a while after she came out the coma
Imagine how many deaths would happen everyday if we did not have life support
At least 3
Imagine being in an induced coma on a ventilator but you are actually aware. Imagine hearing people talk but because you have no idea what’s happening, you feel like you’re being tortured. I surmised I had been kidnapped and didn’t know why. Even when the ventilator was removed I wrote on a pad one word, “kidnapped”. Then when I could barely talk, I cussed the doctors and nurses for hours. They wouldn’t give me water or even ice for 28 hours. I felt like a man dying in the desert. I started hallucinating seeing bugs and flys all over me. I had flashbacks of being on the ventilator again and the room would turn green, then purple. I can tell you after being on a ventilator for ten days that there are worse things than dying. After 5 months being home I now suffer from something called PIC. My short term memory is not good but I remember things from 30 years ago just like they just happened. I actually got in an argument with my wife over something that happened 30 years ago because to me it just happened. When she was about to leave me, I couldn’t remember our argument. I told my personal doctor that they kept me alive but they didn’t save my life.
My sister was on life support, but now she's in a better place
I’m so sorry for your loss
I was intubated for three weeks due to severe pneumonia. One interesting thing about it is that despite being in a medically induced coma, I still dreamed. VIVIDLY dreamed. Its been 2 years since I had this done and I still remember the dreams.
My burning question is if you can escape dreams in a coma? I suffer a lot with negative dreams in which I can escape by waking. In a coma...there's no escape??
0:15 plane is going down but that mans more interested on what’s on his laptop while the lady in the back is fast asleep😂
They are not aware to there surroundings.
As a Respiratory Therapist who takes care of patients on ventilators, I was very impressed with the accuracy of this video! Thanks for doing your research! 👍🙂

Nurse here. Overall a very well thought out video. Gotta correct the defibrillation is like jumping a dead battery though. A stopped heart will not respond to defib. It’s only used for irregular rhythms. Biggest myth in med shows for decades

As an Intensive Care Nurse, this is very accurate.. Great job as always Infographics Show!
After a near fatal car wreck in 2013, I was on life support for about 9 weeks as I came out if a medically induced coma...thankfully I fully recovered from that though I still live in near constant pain from my legs having rods in them.
🙏🏻❤️
I went through this and a coma, I need a refresher sometimes on what I went through. Never wanna do it again. Covid is literally my worst fears all in one. Not breathing, being in a coma, and blood clots. Oh no no no!

Coma: Hey
Ok
Me: *wakes up from coma in 2020 and sees what’s happening*

my grandma wasn’t on life support but was on hospice and passed away 11/19/20 it was a hard thing to watch and things had just gotten worse with her battle with alzheimers and dementia
What is it actually like to be on life support? I don’t remember, I was in a coma. 🤷♂️
What was it like? What did you feel while you were in a coma? Did you feel the Time pass?
Prolly it was like you where in a deep sleep and woke up
punny
@@sudaifaluqla8329 I was in coma for idk 2 weeks and it was like a big dream like idk 1 hour dream and it was like you took lsd it was trippy, at least for me and i had actually one of those tubes for feeding and boi you don't want that in you
I had to have this done after being infected with COVID-19. Cool to have this procedure further explained. Horrifying yet informative.
I was in a coma on full life support for 4 weeks, I had some crazy dreams they don’t feel like dreams they feel like real memories. I had collapsed lungs, double kidney failure, pneumonia and serotonin syndrome. I’m now back at work but unfortunately I’ve got epilepsy so far 17 months seizure free.
All these patients and medical professionals look so happy, it's lovely to see their optimism and positive dispositions helping them through what must be a very traumatic time.
Being in a coma or on life support is the same as being asleep. Until you wake up in pain
I thought I was dreaming still when I woke up to a breathing tube down my throat and I couldn’t move after a high speed motorcycle accident. But you’re right, that pain reminds you you’re alive.
More like till your disconnected. Happens more time than you think.
Been hoping for this video
You should be making an episode on how the Flash made himself 71 clones and forced all of them to make YT accounts and comment something within the first 20 seconds of your video uploading.
Underrated comment smh
Never heard of him but he should make one on Justin Y

And why he made them comment “first”
2020: The only year people wish they were in a coma on life support.

On new years day
My wonderful dad was on life support. It only prolonged his suffering as blood flowed through ventilator tubes . It was the most horrible sight I've seen. He died jan 1st 2022 at 2:15 p.m.
When people pass on life support it is sad to never be able to say another goodbye and hear them respond. You can only hope you did the best by them.
This vid makes me appreciate life 😩
I would like to add a little mention about TPN: it is possible to be put on long-term TPN and in these cases, the TPN is delivered in a PIC line through the chest and into the heart. This may be done due to cancers that cause the major or entire removal of the stomach/small intestine, as well as individuals with gastroparesis whose G.I. tracts have totally shut down and G-Tubes & NG Tubes are no longer options or have been tried and failed.
I am 100% tube fed at home due to a condition called Gastroparesis. That means my stomach is paralyzed. So im fed through a surgically implanted tube (G-J tube)directly to my intestines...... I also have a device implanted in my chest called a port (specifically mine is a pediatric power port). This is a perminent IV line in my chest that gives me IV fluids and medications 24/7.
If it wasnt for these two life changing treatments I wouldnt be alive! Even though I wish i didnt need them, i am eternally thankful for the life i have due to them 💉💜
Stay strong you rock this world
I love your positivity thanks for sharing ♥️
As an ICU nurse, I approve this video. There are more life support machines as well but this covered the most common ones
My aunts dad died on life support last Sunday from COVID
idk if it was life support but my grandma was brain dead and had a machine keeping her breathing. it’s so heartbreaking to see
A little over a year ago I suffered a cardiac arrest and kidney failure due to Sepsis. I was on life support, in a medically induced coma and on dialysis for over 48 hours. What still bothers me on a daily basis is not knowing exactly what happened to me while in the ICU. It's a complete blank and that is driving me crazy 😢
WOW I KNOW THESE VIDEOS ARE EDUCATIONAL THANK YOU INFOGRAPHIC SHOW!
My grandpa had cancer 10 years ago. He had to go on life support. He needed to have lots of chemotherapy, which caused him to have a loss of hearing in both ears. He had to have a tracheotomy tube, in order to breathe.
Wish him well.
Love the vids
after my moms massive heart attack, she was on life support and it was so traumatic. she was so swollen. hooked up to all these tubes. i hated to see her that way
Who here cuz of youngboy?
Hello @theinfographicsshow my name is Nyla and I’m 19 years old and I just wanna just say I lovvveee your videos. I found out I have kidney failure and starting dialysis sooon. Would u please do a video more about kidney dialysis and dialysis I would really appreciate it.
I was in life support, after my ACDF surgery for 4 days June 4-8 because my lungs filled with liquid after surgery. And to be farely honest, the worst thing happened to me is when i suddenly woke up. I didn't know what happened or going on right that moment. For a split second i thought i'm already dead as there was darkness (ICU room lights were off) and i cant speak or cry (because of the tubes). And the rest are blank.
Yea this is very informative thank you
I was on life support 8 weeks ago. I’m back in the gym for a week now🙌🙌🙌
Man this is really sad but it is to help people get better
DMX ❤️
The best thing in this channel was the captions, hope they could continue with it.
i had tube in me from surgry for breathing i wanted pull them out when i woke up the nurse goes no wait for the dr just relax when dr got there he pull out like 4 feet of tubes out of me i go no wonder it was hurting gees
I love how he spells PEG tube instead of just calling it a peg tube.
ok
Ok
Because I know a different peg tool and my mind would then wonder.
Lol true!
Same with ecmo
I was given an opportunity to test drive, a lot of the options listed in the video after an op went 🍐 in the Army. When the confusion and intense pain weakened after I woke up, I had a type of DNR put in my file to spare my family the guilt of turning off life support or the burden of medical costs for upkeep.
I love ur vids they so informative but fun
As a Respiratory Therapist for the past 21 years I approve of this message! It bugs us when people say “respirator” instead of “ventilator”. It’s kind of like saying a venomous snake is poisonous. It’s not the same thing. Otherwise great video. I’m the person who places that ET tube down your trachea and sets you up on the ventilator with appropriate settings that are specific to both your body type and disease process. (BTW, in my opinion of working with patients that are micro-preemies to large old adults, it is not nice to not have anything less than 3 - 5 cmH2O pressure of PEEP on your vent settings. This helps keep your alveoli nice and inflated while exhaling. Breathing through a fairly small tube is not comfortable and PEEP and pressure support help overcome the tube resistance.)
Please Make more medical videos, I Love Them!💙 Maybe something about premature babies
You wouldn't believe how amazing it is to eat solid food again after being on a feeding tube.
Irrelevant fact:
I had salmon for dinner
You must be so smart

I had two wisdom teeth removed today, they hooked all kinds of stuff in me, some kind of electrodes, blood pressure thingy midgige, oxygen mobober, IV etc, got out and my jaw felt like I dropped it from an airplane! speaking of which I need to take i pill for swelling and infection in a few mins
Are you taking tylenol 3?
Why didn’t you remove all 4?
I got all 4 of mine removed and as soon as the hooked me up on those substances I was out. Anesthesia be like that tho. Also it gets better. It took me abou 4 weeks to eat in the back of my mouth, but I was also being careful. Don't want dry sockets
@@unknownsignals2789 huh normally they keep you awake but not feel pain. Must be different for wisdom teeth
@@johnpaulabocad6941 Well your awake kinda. You don't know your awake, and you have no memory whatsoever of the procedure. It matters what anesthesia you use. There is general for basically knocking you out, IV which is where you get an IV that keeps you awake but your unaware of your surroundings, (which is what I had) and local anesthesia which is where you get a numbing shot or numbing substances on your gums for removal of teeth. Mostly local is used for tooth fillings tho.

Very interesting
Can you do one on diabetic comas? I fell into one back in June and it’s been a life changing event since then
I love this channel
I spent 3 days on life support after having 3 failed surgeries in 5 days. I don't remember anything from the time I was put to sleep until I woke up with a tube down my throat. I remember throwing up when they removed the tube. I remember that the first thing I wanted to do was to get out of the bed but my body was too weak. The nurse helped me out of bed and into a chair after a couple of hours. But being on the life support was like being asleep without dreaming.
I've been on life support for 10 years and will need it the rest of my life. I was in a coma for the first 60 days though and last thing i remember was having labored breathing then..BOOM..i wake up 60 days later. First thing i wanted was a drink and finally got one a week later.
Who’s here after DMX ❓
I’ve had an NG tube when I stayed in the hospital for a month it didn’t feel like anything but it irritated my throat when it was taken out. And I was born pre mature and had a G tube till I was 11. Again didn’t feel a thing but I wasn’t allowed to play rough cuz it would fall out and when it did, putting it back in was really uncomfortable
Got off life support May 5, 2022. Had a non epileptic seizure episode where I was administered to high of a dosage of Ativan which caused me to stop breathing in the ED. I was then transferred to ICU where they put me on life support. I was only on it for 24hrs. My throat is messed up a bit, I feel out of breath all the time, and my stomach is upset some of the time. I have flashbacks of the times I due remember. I am glad I survived, but it's a struggle.
1:17 why did I.. laugh a little when he say portable ventilator
Having gone through surgery, I can also add ventilators are used while your lungs get strength back
thanks infographics i was recently wondering whether or not i wanted to go on life support so thanks for helping me make the decision 👍

I don't remember when I was on the ventilator as I was still in coma, but I woke up with the NG tube and it is soooo uncomfortable. While I was slowly getting back into consciousness, I was trying to pull the NG tube but I don't remember any of that. There was a few days where I woke up but I wasn't myself. I don't remember that part either. Most of it is still a blank.
