Tento zvuk vydáva umierajúci človek tesne pred smrťou: Znie strašidelne, nebolí…
Viacerí priznali, že tento zvuk vydávali aj ich blízki, keď sa blížil koniec, no nikto im nevysvetlil, o čo ide.

Hospice Nurse Explains the 'Death Rattle' and Offers Comfort to Millions
Understanding the Death Rattle: A Hospice Nurse's Explanation End-of-life care often presents families with unexpected challenges. One such challenge is the 'death rattle,' a sound that can be distressing for those unfamiliar with its cause. Hospice nurse Julie, a New York Times best-selling author, recently shared a TikTok video explaining this phenomenon, gaining over 2.6 million views. "The death rattle is the most normal thing and to be expected at the end of life," Julie explains in her video. She clarifies that the sound is caused by saliva buildup in the mouth due to weakened swallowing muscles. The brain, no longer signaling the body to swallow, results in the accumulation of saliva and the associated gurgling sound. Julie emphasizes that the death rattle does not usually cause pain or suffering. "The person is usually fully unconscious," she states, adding that hospice care can address this by using medications to dry the mouth or simply repositioning the patient to allow the saliva to drain. Julie's video has helped normalize a frequently misunderstood end-of-life experience, offering comfort and understanding to many caregivers. Her practical advice and compassionate approach have resonated with a wide audience, demonstrating the importance of education and clear communication in end-of-life care.
