As previously reported, this is perhaps one of the more unusual research developments to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated shortages of ventilators and artificial lungs to assist patients’ breathing and prevent respiratory failure.
Also maybe helpful for people with traumatic chest injuries that make it difficult, painful, or internally harmful to breathe normally.
If only they had made this research before they made the Abyss, that could have been a more interesting concept..
Never thought I'd see the day where the term "butt breath" wasn't an insult
What if one has to fart
It reverses course and becomes the most foul burp you've ever had
Usually only occurs in young children, but, you can be so constipated that you vomit feces.
Sorry for ruining your day.
I'm a nurse homie. I'm very aware of a lot of the gross things bodies are capable of
ETA: feces smelling burps are a sign of an intestinal blockage, we really appreciate you sharing that with us early in the hospital before your bowels perforate
I was working in a hospital once when a guy with a severe internal gastric bleed threw up feces and 'coffee ground emesis'
Very gross.
I can't wait for lungs to become a premium feature! Oh boy! Isn't that great?
Spread your buttcheeks everyone! Let that smog in!
Reminds me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_smoke_enema
Wait so like they took less than 1.5 liters in their ass and didn't have to breathe for an hour?
"Why doesn't Sam have a scuba tank?".
They just topped up their ass
No, for not needing to breathe the fluid needs to oxygenated, so there's probably some circulation of the fluid needed for that, and an oxygen tank. Also, breathing isn't exactly a voluntary reflex.
I know years ago they did some kind of test to show that people can still breathe the fluid we breathe when in the womb. Figured I'd spell it wrong haha
please Science... don't let this headline go the way of most cancer breakthroughs.
The team recruited 27 healthy adult men in Japan, each of whom received a dose of non-oxygenated perfluorodecalin via the anus. They were asked to retain the liquid for a full hour as the dosage slowly increased from 25 to 1,500 mL. Twenty of the men successfully completed the experiment.
Last sentence had me laughing and thinking "only in Japan".
Sir, I believe you're blowing hot air up my ass.
Ah yes, the Traf maneuver. The name comes from the fact that it's a backwards fart! f(ಠ‿↼)z
Maybe the old treatment for drowned people of 'blowing smoke up ones ass' wasn't so silly after all...
