We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

So this is the formula you use to make the heart stop for a short time. Magic is amazing.
Hey, I saw that Youtube short with the fireman guy that does the funny skits too.
Saw that one too
Me three.
"I hate adenosine"
Have gotten a dose of this before in the ER. Absolutely do not recommend!!
Do I even want to know? Must feel like you're dying?
Ive never rexperienced anything like it. It happens extremely fast. Dr injected into the IV and instantaneously every muscle in my body contracted (at least that's what it felt like), I lost my vision temporarily although my eyes were still open. Similarly I couldn't hear anything either. I was filled with an extreme feeling of...rushing...adrenaline... Really hard to describe. I felt my heart give one last big THUMP and then stop.
And suddenly, my heart started again. My vision and hearing restored, I was back in the ER surrounded by Dr and nurses and techs. Breathing hard, somewhat confused and experiencing a little twinge in my back from the contractions.
The whole experience took maybe 3-4 seconds. It felt like minutes.
That sounds all sorts of awesome and awful at the same time
That's exactly what's happening(for a short moment).
No? What's it like?
Is this the stuff that causes the “impending doom” sensation? That stuff’s weird.
I kinda wanna try it
I’ve had it done couple times to attempt stop tachycardia. My heart used to randomly get stuck in sinus rhythm at 180bpm, which was annoying.
Adenosine blocks electrical signals through the atrio-ventricular (AV) node for a second or two. So you appear to flatline on an ECG. It never worked for me. A Diltiazem injection was what reliably worked to reset my rhythm.
I’ve since had a cardiac ablation to fix my hearts fucked up wiring. A doctor sends a scope into an artery in your leg, travels up to your heart, finds the cells that are causing electrical impulses to loop uncontrollably, then burns them.
It’s about a 45 min procedure door to door, and it’s the equivalent of removing some excess solder from a bad circuit board. So yet another IT department inspired fix.
Catheter ablation team unite! 👏
Rise up with sore groins!
My mom's about to get this done. How is the recovery? Is there anything I should consider so that I'm useful helo if needed after the procedure?
Pretty unremarkable. You basically can't lift anything heavy for a few weeks so you don't break the old artery incision. Your mom will basically need you to be a butler / maid for a few days.
I was back at work (at a computer) the next day. Recovery was fairly simple. I don't recall any major meds being needed and I wasn't in pain.
Now attach three phosphate ions and watch it go brrr.
Right, that’s ATP, right?
If my math is right, yeah.
Cut me some slack, the Krebs cycle was in high school over a quarter of a century ago for me.
I should probably carry this, my heart likes to randomly decide 220bpm is a good idea every now and then.
220bpm? That's a solid blast beat tempo.
When I run my heart caps out at around 186. I can't even imagine what 220 feels like.
If that's true, go get checked out. Tachycardia is often easily treated but can be a serious issue if you ignore it.
Yeah I'm lucky I guess that my particular condition is deemed not serious enough to warrant carrying medication. Just gotta live with it, thoroughly unpleasant when it happens though!
Isn’t that the stuff caffeine blocks that builds up in your brain over the day?
Yes adenosine A2 receptor. Actually I just checked and apparently A1 and A2a.

Ha, did you see that paramedic social media video too? I just learned about this yesterday from him.
Lol can you link it. Haven't seen it I am just very big into wikipedia ever since I was put on welbutron
Haha what a coincidence! Here’s the video I saw: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-Q0q1JSd0L/?igsh=ZTcwb296OWNsNWtu
This guy is great. I found his YouTube channel earlier in the week via a friend a marathoned all the shorts
Yup saw that a few days ago, YouTube shorts though.
I thought of the same video when I saw this post haha, that guy's stuff is gold.
