When Brain Damage Causes Body Posturing

[@darkscienceyt]

I'm so grateful for everyone's comments in supporting this video, and how KZbin has repeatedly flagged this. Backstory, I posted this video originally in June. KZbin age restricted it which was demoralizing because I was really proud of it. I then uploaded an "edited" version. KZbin flagged it again. I edited it another version and and it was restricted again. I did this 12 more times (14 uploads in total) before I outright gave up and deleted the video entirely. Age restricted videos become either hidden or inaccessible. All your research, script writing, editing is seen a fraction of your subscribers, let alone other viewers. I was really soured by KZbin's age restriction this time. I didn't mind as much in past videos, but this was different. I had the chance to really educate people on safety by explaining brain trauma and body posturing. Sometimes the best way to educate is show people real instances of brain trauma and head injuries. This current video is a shell of the original, and I'm really saddened by it. If I could even demonetize it so advertisers wouldnt have to run ads on it, and avoid the age restriction I would. I tried it and it still wasn't spared by KZbin medieval age restriction algorithm. Sorry for the long winded post. I wanted to explain what happened and more importantly thank you all so much for your support. I was and am drained right now, and seeing people comment about their support in my endeavors against KZbin's restriction policy is really heart warming. I love you all and am so happy to have you watch my content. I really just want to teach science, and you all give me the opportunity to do that. Whether this video gets restricted tomorrow or not, I hope you all learned something from it. ~Adam

Such a shame... I initially found it extremely useful to see videos of victims of traumatic head injuries, learn how to spot telltale signs and act accordingly. Useful, but also terrifying because of how how people are much too cavalier with street brawls and activities, putting their brains at risk of permanent injury.

[@JRCP144]

This video directly helped a young man get appropriate treatment. I'm a rugby referee, and in a game today a player got knocked out, but I didn't see it. What I did see was his hands tightening and arms curling inward. Because I had watched this video the night before, I was able to make sure the player was taken directly to hospital, rather than just looked after at home. So, thank you for your persistence in re-uploading this video. It made a real difference to a real person.

You saved his life, dude. I hope you know what a hero you are!

[@JRCP144]

@@phalanges3647 I really didn't. I referee, and without accredited medical personnel, it's my responsibility to make the final decision about the health of the players on the field - especially in a case like this one, where the players were all under 18. This video helped me make a better decision, absolutely. But every referee in the world takes that responsibility very seriously, and calling an ambulance wasn't about heroism, it was about procedure.

[@OldManPaxusYT]

of course yes yes and more yes - always go on the side of caution and this video deserves HIGHEST praise - but let's not get too afraid of living or say things like, 'you saved his life' with certainty either - coz u see postures like this all the time and the ppl are fine in less than a couple of minutes - just watch UFC for a few years and you will see plenty of them. I've seen them personally from fights and KO's... There's degrees and this video is VERY DRAMTIC, highlighting SEVERE cases of both very unlucky or car-crash speeds (btw, that includes a weapon like baseball bat)... While the brain can be considered 'fragile' - it is ALSO VERY RESILIENT and PLASTIC! (meaning that even where one area may be damaged, it can rewire itself to compensate!) I just say this that ppl don't go away from this video, terrifying to live, do sports, drive etc and believe that the slightest knock will make you permanently injured... That is just not true! Our skull protects our brain. Nature made it that way... P.s. Build up your neck muscles! 😉 Peace, Love and Mung beans!

[@JRCP144]

@@OldManPaxusYT I agree, and I fully expect that player to be back next season (it was the final game of this year). I probably made it sound more dramatic than necessary - no one was arguing with me about calling an ambulance. But I am genuinely thankful that I had better information than I would have otherwise, thanks to this video. Because it was obviously more serious than the typical concussion, whether that's because of the severity of the knock or because he's had previous concussions, I don't know.

EMT here. Absolutely right on the part where you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT want to move someone in a decerebrate posture.

[@endurofurry]

I have a question. I am a former pro dirtbike rider specializing in endurance racing. I got hurt and now I dedicate my time to training "kids" (16-19). It has always been a question rattling around in the back of my head about how I would handle a situation like this when we are in the middle of nowhere. I know is best to not move them. But if one of these guys got hurt out in the forest, my 2 options are to get them off the mountain and to a hospital. Or wait the 6 hours it takes for EMS to get a team together and all that to get them out. This area is far too wooded and mountainous for life flight so regardless walking them out is the only option. It would take me about 1:30 to get them out myself and to a hospital. I would be worried about brain bleeds and I know time is of the essence from my own head trauma.

[@Corvid]

Saw decorticate posturing once as an EMT, patient had a brain bleed that left her in a persistent vegetative state... 21 year old single mum. That was a Christmas eve that still haunts me to this day. Seeing the patient 6 months later, a decision my crewmate and I both regretted.

[@Stryker2279]

Yup, but tbh as someone who went through a traumatic Brian injury and somehow had almost no permanent effects and also chemotherapy for cancer, I can say that the loss of motor function sucked most during those times. When my brain was fucked up everything just felt foggy, like I was confused but wasn't super worried about it be cause I knew I would snap out of it. For the record I didn't know that for a fact, and it wasn't a guarantee that I would fully recover, but in my head in that moment I thought "oh well, I'm confused right now and I've been confused for a week, I'll figure it out tomorrow prolly." It is nothing short of a miracle that I'm alive right now. You don't hit cars at 165mph on a motorcycle and survive, let alone have zero permanent injuries from that event.

[@helixzenith]

As informative as this video is, there is some misinformation here. Enough so that it becomes understandable if the video has to be taken down or reuploaded again. What Tua Tugovailoa suffered from was not decorticate posturing, but rather something known as the fencing response. There are a couple reasons why we know this to be the case. The fact he falls onto his back, and the way in which his fingers lock is a tale tale sign of the fencing response, but not something seen in decorticate posturing(like the video discussed, the wrists and fingers should curl inward towards the chest). In addition to this, his posturing lacks a lot of symmetry in arm flexion that is to be expected with decorticate posturing. Let us also mention that his lower extremities did not show signs of decorticate posturing either. The momentary extension of his right leg (misidentified as his left leg in the video) is not enough for this to be considered a sign of decorticate posturing. His toes are not extended and his left leg is still bent. This is why he was able to regain consciousness and some degree of coordination within minutes of the event, and why he was able to make a well enough recovery to be back on the field competing as starting qb in the season succeeding the event. The fact that only 37% of individuals with decorticate posturing survive and even less without severe impairment should be enough to know that they wouldn’t let him back on the field if he actually showed abnormal posturing. People would be much more livid if so many doctor made such a crucial mistake. Please do not share the misinformation in this video. Abnormal posturing is dangerous and not understanding how to properly identify it could make a drastic difference in the outcome of someone’s life.

[@helixzenith]

Ur prob not reading allat but I thought I’d leave it there js in case someone does.

[@tomsterbg8130]

​@@helixzenithValid points, that part sure was weird. I think the main takeaways would be, if you see something abnormal with a person clearly in bad condition and unresponsive, call the emergency number (not 911, your local number, which i believe is 112 for whole Europe, but even if it isn't, it is in my country, so know your various local numbers and what they're for). Obviously if people were raised properly they'd know that you should take away only what makes most sense and just put all other info as a not so secure information to still be aware about, but with the rise of this new lazy lifestyle of making everything easier people become less optimal thinkers. I'm going off topic, but why do you think most people like the sea vacations more than mountains? Because it's relaxing, easy, feels like you'll have fun. Guess what, i recently got to climb the local mountain and that was one of the best experiences I've ever had. If you ask me sea or mountain, I'd choose mountain. It requires more work and fitness, but it makes you feel the serotonin, you meet people on the main course, some are even happy to say hi. Overall the people are in a different setting than in the city so they become more socialized and i love it. Made a friend on my first climb. Anyway, stay safe, and as always dad taught me, think several steps ahead, plan what you'll do, explore the paths you'll go at, like you do in chess.

My little brother had a traumatic brain injury from a skateboarding accident because he wasn’t wearing his helmet. He was going down a steep hill, his skateboard slipped out from under him and he fell backwards and hit the back of his head on concrete. He’s a pretty strong dude so when he came to, he was confused and his friends couldn’t keep him down and my brother stood up, passed out and fell again on the back of his head a second time… It was really bad. But he got medical attention very quickly and went into surgery pretty fast too in order to place a drain in his skull to let out some of the pressure so his brain could swell, and they put him in a medically induced coma to aid in healing as well. He was in a coma for about a month and the doctors weren’t sure he was going to make it. It’s legitimately a miracle he survived his injury, and even more so a miracle that he is relatively ok since the accident. He can still walk and talk, but he completely lost his sense of smell, and had some minor personality changes (like he gets easily fixated on certain subjects, particularly music. He had a very hard time with time management, and he sometimes doesn’t pick up on social cues when he’s maybe being a tiny bit annoying lol.) but other than some of those personality changes he’s pretty much the same he was before the accident. His physical rehab team also said he recovered faster than any traumatic brain injury patient they’ve ever seen, and was discharged much sooner than most would. I joke it’s because he has such a hard head that protected his brain haha. We were also worried for him that he would lose his ability to play his guitar, but to our surprise he was able to play it not too long after the injury and didn’t lose any motor function to do it either. Years later, when I was planning my wedding I asked him to play “Jessie’s theme” from the final fantasy 7 remake on his guitar for me when I walked down the isle, and he played it beautifully. It was really special to have him play and we were both emotional about it knowing he might not have even been there because of his injury if he didn’t survive it. My brother got extremely lucky compared to most. If you skateboard, bike, or do anything that you should wear a helmet to do, please for the love of god WEAR YOUR HELMET!! My brothers doc said that had my brother worn his helmet he most likely wouldn’t have even needed to go to to the hospital. Even though he’s relatively ok, it was a huge gamble on his part to not wear one and he’s damn lucky he’s alive to even regret that decision.

My husband had decerebrate posturing after his car accident in 2012. He had his seatbelt on, the whole car seat came off and flew into the backseat where the car was impacted. He was air flown to a teaching hospital… the brain surgeon told me most places would have done nothing….as my husband had sooo many brain bleeds and decerebrate posturing. They have to teach the new brain surgeons somehow. 🤷🏻‍♀️ He is considered a functional quadriplegic. I didn’t even know what a brain bleed was or what it was going to mean. I didn’t know ANYTHING! He had his skull taken off, a feeding tube and a trach. He was in ICU for 3 weeks and they sent him to a step down unit to await a nursing home or going home. I brought him home. I was told he would be “complete care”. It took years even to figure that out….like what does that even mean? I wish they had a video like this back then. I was so lost and he was flown to a hospital out of state. I was using the hotel computer trying to figure it out. I was told he was most likely going to be a vegetable or minimally conscious. He came home exactly a month after his accident. Still without his skull and with a feeding tube. They took his trach out. He had no health insurance. He was aware of nothing and could move nothing but his left fingers. Everyday he came around more and more. It was 6 months in and I still wasn’t sure he knew me or the kids. He DID come around though. He is full care. He can move his lift side and he can stand to transfer. He has his memories and humor. He is an artist and still draws/paints. He had to relearn to use his left hand. He is childlike now… but he is happy. I wish I could add a video to your collection… and KZbin would allow you to upload it. Honestly people everyday are being told their loved one has brain bleeds, posturing, “complete care” and it IS hard to picture what that actually means. Thank you for this video.

Same. Expanding on why it’s disturbing to me: The Greek letter Psi doesn’t only mean mind, but also soul. The soul is arguably an ancient conception of the mind. So the soul is physically present, not an indestructible wisp. People conceive of the soul as eternal and sacred, as they recognize the immense, almost divine quality of a mind. Death, an end to something so valuable, is almost incomprehensible, through afterlife or metaphorically we view our soul, our thoughts, as eternal, somehow effecting a divine thread beyond our life. But if the soul is not invincible and can be altered outside of our will, then are you changed for all past and future? Somehow defiled for eternity? The thread of our life ends however, and regardless of what we began and ended as, we return to the same unconscious dream of the universe. And that can never be defiled, as it’s always the same.

As much as I would like to believe that there is an infinite multiverse that has the time as a concept confined to individual universes, or that there is the big crunch after which a new big bang occurs, these are not the only theories around. And we will never find out for sure, as it only takes one reproducible experiment to turn everything we think we know into a special case that is an oversimplification and only occurs under certain conditions that we just happen to be living in.

@@krzysztofczarnecki8238Fyi, the crunch-bang is called the big bounce ^^ I tend towards a philosophical Monism that gets at something beyond even the universe. Non-existence is an illusion because non-existence also exists, plus what's the difference between the universe not existing and existing if no consciousness is there to see it? The unconscious dream continues, even unto death. I'm not saying it doesn't make me sad though, the universe is cool and if humanity is ever able to (which I severely doubt) we should do what we can to preserve it (if there is any way, which I also doubt, but hopeful thinking). But, in the future of the heat death- existence still... exists, imo, even if the big bounce doesn't happen. Because there was a time before the universe was born and there's a time after it "dies," Existence happened so, whether before or after the universe, exist is still gonna exist, if that makes any sense.

Knowing that not everyone will see you as human or "normal". All of that combined with damage can really cause someone to have nothing to lose. I hope you have recovered, again my condolences.

I drove past the scene of an accident that had just happened early one morning where a car had pulled out in front of a motorcycle - the motorcyclist was lying in the road amidst the wreckage with his helmet on, arms out in front of him in an almost pugilistic position . It was so clear from seeing him that he was not going to make it, and i always wondered what exactly his fatal injury had been, as he did not survive… This video leads me to believe it was probably trauma to his brainstem, or brain, or both…. Unfortunately it was a hit and run in a stolen car, and they never caught the person who took his life. RIP Alfred Legaspi

Great video bro. This is why I *always* wear my helmet when riding my bike. Personally I use a MIPS rated helmet which not only protects from the initial shock, but it’s also designed to reduce torsional forces too by allowing the foam and the liner to twist separately from the outer helmet. So when you hit the ground, instead of that twisting force twisting your entire head, the liner breaks away from the helmet’s outer shell and dissipates the force. You get one brain, and once it’s damaged, it’s often not ever going to go back to normal. You think you look goofy in a helmet? Wait until you’re in a wheelchair drooling on your shirt. Look after yourself brothers and sisters

I’ve had a fascination with abnormal posturing and other signs of extreme urgency for some time. These can sometimes be misinterpreted as the victim being fine, when nothing could be further from the truth. The other sign that’s often tragically overlooked is myoclonus. This is an involuntary movement 1/5 people make when suffering cardiac arrest, and it’s sometimes mistaken for voluntary movement. It may happen together with agonal breathing, yet another severe sign that can be misinterpreted as normal breathing. Agonal breathing is insufficient to sustain life and a last ditch involuntary effort before death. Perhaps a series on commonly misinterpreted patient presentations would be a great follow-up. Great video!

I don't know why youtube apparently decided to take this video down previously, but as a Biomedical student, I love these videos :) Keep up the good work!

5:39 why, why did you have to make me breathe manually now

[@glasstuna]

I just lost the game.

[@PWigglman1492]

I lost my way and have been manually breathing for the past month.

Thank god your videos are so good you gain the million views back in just a couple weeks

[@GoodDeedWearyWorld]

FINALLY. Thank you. I've been wondering what this is for so long. Decerebrate Posturing, more specifically. I'm a police dispatcher and have seen a lot of bodycam footage involving shooting victims over the years. I noticed this effect in almost all those people in those videos - or at least, I noticed it being present for the few moments immediately following the trauma. One of the best examples that comes to mind that is actually accessible on YT is the bodycam footage of Vicky White (a corrections officer who helped an inmate escape and eventually took her own life during a police pursuit). In the bodycam footage you can see her (albeit mostly censored) as she is being found and then removed from her crashed vehicle. She sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound moments before officers approached her. The only part of her that isn't censored is her arm/hand area, but the exact posture being discussed in this video is undeniably there. Also, I have a certification in something called Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD). Meaning when someone calls 9-1-1, I know what to say to the caller to hopefully help keep the patient alive and minimize further injury long enough for first responders to arrive and take over. I have heard it all. You name it, I know exactly what to say to give you the best chance of survival. But the main issue I have with EMD is that I don't always know *why* you need to do those things in certain situations. Even if I do know why, I don't always know how to quickly make the caller understand why. For example, I know you (generally) shouldn't move someone who's lost consciousness as a result of physical trauma. Essentially anyone who's been injured so badly that they cannot move themselves. Car accident victims, for example. I think I even understand more or less why in that example, but if I can't articulate the *why's* to a 9-1-1 caller, then I have a lower chance of gaining their cooperation and ultimately a lower chance of giving the sick or injured person the best possible chance at survival/recovery. Videos like this help put into words some of the things that I couldn't. Also, I started skating about a year ago. Both in skateparks and at home. I sometimes wouldn't wear a helmet. This video reminded me that I should know better. I'm definitely going to make a habit of wearing that damn helmet EVERY time again 😅 Thanks again and sorry to hear you've been algorithm'd 😬

Thank goodness the KZbin censors who know what's best are there to prevent us from learning medically relevant facts. (BIG Eye-roll) John Mohan, RN

[@WhytePip]

Yeah, I feel like YT is stopping people from learning about medical facts......

[@Friggsdottir]

Do you tell everyone you're a nurse?

[@loganwolv3393]

It's wild that i potentially suffered multiple concussions while i was a kid and no one knows how much this changed me.

[@peteiiseasy3217]

Yeah dude it is wild, but what is in the past is in the past. You probably recovered from those concussion pretty well because you were a kid, thus you had more neuroplasticity, which can help you to recover.

[@peteiiseasy3217]

Yep. Ever thought about the societal effects of leaded gasoline? There's still a ton of people around with major lead exposure in their youth.

[@pamelanadel3787]

My sister died from a brain aneurysm. She postured but I’m not sure which. She died 11 days after her 30th birthday. That was 29 years ago. The information in this video is critical. New subscriber.

[@kahvipaputyyppi]

I'm glad that you were still able to educate us! I learned a lot and this knowledge could save someones life! 🙏

[@artifalse]

this video triggered my tics to start acting up. thought it was kinda funny, and better to laugh than be embarrassed. cheers!

[@marcdraco2189]

I’ve had a fairly severe concussion (forhead into pavement from about 6 feet.) I wonder what damage it did. I remember the event but apart from feeling odd and bleeding profusely I had no apparent damage. I’ve always wondered what really got mush in there.

[@ni-dirus]

I've known people with decorticate and decerebate posturing. I find it incredibly insulting that KZbin considers images of them to be "graphic." I find it insulting that KZbin things people with lost eyes and noses due to gunshot wounds or burns to be "graphic." I think it's insulting that humans living with lifelong injuries are considered to be "against terms of service." A person's existence does not require censorship.

[@timothywilliams8530]

I work in an ER, I saw a patient once, post SI attempt, whom had posturing like this. Their posturing was intermittent, they'd have their arms extend straight down but they'd also still try to make movements against staff when they were intubated. They weren't great movements but, more than most codes that come in. This pt had 15 total minutes of downtime before getting to the ED. The charge nurse knew pt from high school and later told us she stalked them online to see updates on their condition. They ended up making a recovery, or at least enough of a recovery to go back to work after about a month. This is the only time I've seen a true out of hospital cardiac arrest make a recovery, and the only one to make a recovery to any quality of life.

[@attezirux]

Yes, I came in for curiosity, but the truth is that the functioning of the brain fascinates me. And knowing what causes these spasms and how to help someone was stronger than my curiosity. Excellent video

[@Monicaruthcw]

Commenting for the algorithm ❤️ hopefully KZbin won’t have an issue with this one
