| Video Discription | Dying is a natural part of life and the process of dying is unique to each individual. Although the experience of death is personal, there are several changes that are likely to happen as one is nearing death. In this video, we share with you some signs of active dying but remember, not everyone follows a predictable sequence of stages. -- Recap 🕵️♀️ Dying is a natural part of life and the process of dying is unique to each individual. Active dying refers to the last phase of the dying process, which averages about 3 days. 🔹 Minimal appetite for food and drinks. 🔹 Hypotension with cold peripheries. Skin and limbs feel cold to touch, and may also start to mottle due to reduced blood circulation. 🔹 Abnormal breathing patterns. Towards the last few hours of life, the patient may take in long deep breaths with an open mouth, commonly known as gasping. These breathing patterns are often not uncomfortable to patients. 🔹 Accumulation of secretions in the throat causing a rattling sound, known as the death rattle. 🔹 Reduced consciousness level - signs of restlessness, confusion or hallucination. 🔹 Poor urine output and urinary incontinence. Recognizing this combination of signs allows families and healthcare teams to better prepare and care for patients in the last hours of their lives.
