gas mask play and severe cardiac arrhythmia

as i was playing around with my gas mask, doing breathholds, hyperventilating etc., i triggered quite interesting arrhythmia in my heart.

in this video, you can see:
- sinus / respiratory arrhythmia
- sinustachycardia
- polytop PVCs
- ventricular bigeminus
- ventricular trigeminus
- polytop couplet
- monotop couplet

Where did you get the gas machine? I really loove laughing gas, and not because of the gas, but the machine. The machines are what interest me.

i am NOT! using my gas mask with nitrous oxide. that'd be easily fatal. i breathe it from a balloon. but yeah, i do not have an anaesthesia machine, indeed.

hi kannst du auch mal mit sound machen möcht mal wissen wie des anhört.mfg

[bionerd23]

was fuer "sound" denn? auskultation? da habe ich schon einige videos von eingestellt, schau mal nach. :-)

Awesome video! Why exactly did you get the strange arrythmia when you used the gas mask? And what causes the different arrythmia? Anyway, great video, very interesting! The human body is very interesting, even though it is not perfect, anyway there is a lot of unknown things about it, just waiting to be explained!

[bionerd23]

no idea why the gas mask caused the arrhythmia; i guess maybe changes in oxygen saturation, muscle movement, etc. - hyperventilation also has a pro-arrhythmic effect.

what causes the different arrhythmia - well, multiple ectopic pacemakers with different locations! but why exactly those cells fire autonomously - i really dont know.

i read a particular mosquito can cause arrhythmia too. It's called as chagas disease. it's a parasitic disease where the heart was severely damaged. lol.

WHY ?! are you doing this? Cheep medical school?

[spyrosasavr]

sometimes when i inhale deeply and hold my breath after 30 seconds and stand up and sit down multiple times i can passout and if i do it twice when i wake up i hold my breath and my heart will stop it feels so weird and the way i can get it back to the way it was is passing out after blood lose its a good way to trick my friends but it only works on me though :s

Are you male or female?

[skittleizahustler]

yeah thats typically how you can get rid of them, if they fail to go away within ten mins then you should see a doctor

[hifiguy9]

I suffer from arrhythmia svt and weird things like orgasm, itch, or a sneeze can set it off. The first 2 times it happened I ended up in the emergency room with double shots of adenosene. The third time I did the maneuver where you hold your breath while grunting down like taking a dump and it worked saving me from a $2000.00 emergency room visit.

This is a great example of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (nothing to worry about!). You can also see a few premature ventricular contractions on the EKG (top graph).

OH. I see. LOL
