- Take a journey into the respiratory system to see how ventilators bypass constricted airways and help damaged lungs send oxygen to the body.
--
In the 16th century, physician Andreas Vesalius described how a suffocating animal could be kept alive by inserting a tube into its trachea and blowing air to inflate its lungs. Today, Vesalius’s treatise is recognized as the first description of mechanical ventilation- a crucial practice in modern medicine. So how do our modern ventilators work? Alex Gendler explains the life-saving technology.

My breathing before this video:
“This process happens automatically,”
My breathing now:
Manual breathing mode activated
Podpeople same
If you relax enough it goes back to manual even if you’re still thinking ab it. Or maybe that’s just me.
Not until I read ur comment
I almost kept my automatic breathing while reading your comment but I was defeated 10 seconds later
I was actually fine until I read this comment
It’s kinda scary how sometimes the reactions of your body that are trying to save you can sometimes be what kills you...
Bad Microorganisms: invades body.
Body: No worries! I'll just kill them all by heating up the body!
Also body: Dies of high fever

I mean, isn't that what often happens when you're allergic?
0:40 imagine some guy walking up to u and just ripping his chest open
psst kid... you wanna know how the respiratory system works.
@@salimaa9209mmmm Yesshhh teach me daddy
@@faitdetreseul9767 why do u have to include daddi-
That happened to me once
Lol and even worse is that he's some shady dude wearing a jacket and fedora 🤣
So, after watching this, I gratefully take some slow, concious breaths of air.
I did that
After reading your comment
I did this before then read this like wot
Yeah sometimes consciousness sucks
5:10 High-pitched sound of cathode ray tube! Kudos to the attention to detail.
I can't hear it
My father is a cardiologist and showed this video to him and he said "this the best explanation of how a ventilator works."
i'm on a Vent 24/7 since 2010. It's painless once trached and the vent machine is the size of a large laptop but as thick as a phone book. Home vents are portable
@@mcclintick oh if u don’t mind explaining, is it more uncomfortable to have the vent through the mouth than trached (I looked it up and it says it’s done from throat?) also can u carry ur portable vent machine and go about ur day to day life? Sorry if this is an insensitive question. I really don’t mean to ask this if it makes u uncomfortable. But because u shared some info Id like to know. Thanks
@@sunkara8158 that called treckmotostomy ventilation process it was done for my dad when he had GULLAIN BIRLE SYNDROME AIDP
@@sunkara8158 The oral ET tube is strictly temporary. The tracheostomy tube is used for longer periods of time or more chronic diseases.
As a Respiratory Therapist, I find this video concise and very educational. Excellent illustration and animation TED.
hAVE COVVVID and go on ventillator and now at only 50 percent chance to live. look it up.

@@qzuq dude spells education wrong and his sentences have more grammatical errors than a 2 year old and has a roblox pfp but says he works at " the most famous doctor". That doctor must be so famous he has no name.
I was in a medically induced coma in august this year because I intentionally poisoned myself by eating a plant. I had a temporary pacemaker for 2 or 3 days and I was on a ventilator for a week (tube in my nostril down my throat I think, my voice is still damaged). Woke up after 5 days with the tube still in my nose, it hurt. I could hear the machine. Then I was put back to sleep and woke up again 2 days later. Such a strange experience, I feel nauseous writing about it now. I was so close to dying, yet here I am with no permanent damage. Truly grateful.
Become a born again Christian and find hope in the holy spirit living in you by doing this.
Call on JESUS CHRIST to save you
Believe JESUS son of God
Admit do wrong and sin
Faith, have FAith in God and JESUS till end.
Say it outloud. Free. Salvation...join billions that will see God and JESUS after ...
Jesus washes your sin away with his blood even suiciddde, past, present, future sin. Is a choice. Get JESUS and ask forgiveness for sins. Become a new person in Christ. what do you have to lose?

@@jackfrosty4674 go away
@@GustavoGomes-nn5np i was thinking similar 🙄 🤦♂️
Intentionally ate a poisonous plant? Bruh
ALSO! I figured out that the tube to my lungs went through my mouth, the one in my nose was a feeding tube
Ventilator saved my cousin’s life when she was sick with covid-19. 3 months she lived on it in a coma here in Canada. Thank you to modern medicine and God for sparing her. She is back on her feet
They saved me last year as well from Covid, 2 months in the Hospital. I'm still not completely recovered but glad to be able to breathe mostly on my own again.
I'm happy to hear that she's okay
How horrible. She is very lucky to have no serious brain damage.
My father was on the ventilator for 7 days but couldn't get out of the ventilator and passed away this December due to cardiac arrest because of post covid complications. I have horrible memories with the ventilator machine.
Sorry to hear that. This covid is taking toll on us.
Today, it happened with Rohit Sardana. He was on ventilator and got cardiac arrest.
Same with my mother but it was just 12h.
I'm sorry my fellow Indians
So sorry to hear that brother. May his soul rest in peace 🙏
I'm sorry to hear that, but this machine has saved my life twice now so ehh :/
It's crazy how we watch these videos never expecting them to be so close to home, but we are now literally being part of the same history we learn about
All a lie
I love Ted Ed. When I was in middle school, we would watch BrainPop and these videos remind me of that. 😂
Ted-Ed also gives no bullets
My civics teacher showed us a Ted-Ed video about the constitution
I think Braonpop is the OG I used to bring a watch them
Same

1:20 "if our respiratory system working correctly, this process happen automatically."
My brain: Now *BREATH MANUALLY*
my brother was on a ventilator before he passed away :(( but i’m glad this saved others
3:33 love how the doctors like
"Hmm...I don't hear a beat..only some weird pumping noise."
I cannot understand this mechanism properly....but really really thanks to whom invented this...this saved my beloved life
I find Ted Ed as my personal teacher, teaching me about the world. Normal teachers don't teach you about ventilators, unlike Ted Ed
if u take doctor degree or nurse idk im hs xD dont have any idea
Please don't.
I am glad you admit being a terrible student but Ted-Ed is just a springboard to learning. There is no depth of understanding here.
You didn't "learn" much by watching a 4 minute video. And you certainly aren't qualified to make medical decisions after watching this.
We should just be glad they work in the current situation
Do they?
@@brianborowski7368 *vsauce music begins to play*
@@sylvercritter *HEY! Vsauce, Michael here.*
not cocapoda no idea what you’re referring to. Bye.
xxivermectin works well without vent. Too bad the government took it away.
According to me in total CZcams Ted ed has the best animation
I thought that before seeing 0:38
You realize that TedEd don’t actually do the animation right? They hire very skilled people to do it for them. Their job is to find these talented people and rely their educational ideas with that person.
Notice how each video may have different animation and art style
@@ChauNyan yeah
Hahah
Thank to those brave Respiratory Therapists who operate ventilators to save lives. 🥰 Also, thanks to the Doctor and Nurses. 😘 In fact, the world also need more medical experts like them. 🌎
I was ventilated due to covid back in August. It was really interesting to learn how that machine works. Thank you for that
Do you have a other disease
@@bujgsgs2761 I'm guessing he had some underlying condition. I even have asthma and I got COVID twice and I didn't need medical treatment either time (other than a steroid dose pack the 1st time, but I've had those for the flu too). My girlfriend has no underlying conditions and she only had what she described as a "cold". I know COVID can be deadly but I don't think it is for healthy people.
Andreas Vesalius is also the Father of Modern Human Anatomy. And, he was the first to have enough guts to prove Galen (mega-famous Roman Surgeon) wrong. And, he also encouraged his students to dissect human and animal cadavers side-by-side just so that they could realize how wrong Galen was.
Appreciating every breath I take after watching this
When you get brushed off for helping suffocating animals breath but later get credited with one of the greatest inventions ever
stonks
They called me a madman
Reddit alert
He died before getting proper credit tho, so... no stonks?
Badger almost every scientist or artist ever
He wasn't really helping the animals, but okay.
R I P To People That Have Died From Covid And My Condolences To People Who Know Family Members Friends Or Loved Ones That Have Died From Covid And God Bless Scientists And People Who Helped The World And Is Still Helping The World Thought The Pandemic
I'm just so glad that I discovered this channel. Very educational and creatively delivered contents that can make every single person learn. I'm even sharing every TedEd lessons to my facebook friends. I'm very happy this channel exists.
When he explained how the lungs worked, my lungs felt weird
u are a fortnite player. thats why i liked this commet
The high pItched CRT ringing(use headphones) at 5:10 brought back so many memories...nice attention to detail
I had two tubes down my throat after 9 seizures ( thank goodness I wasn't aware during any of them) while in the er still not aware of what was going on ( medical professionals and fellow seizures painets, y'all know what I mean) I got one tube out and the second one stayed in for a while longer. I was in the hospital level that I can't remember the name of but I aware and I remember nurse's pulling the second one out and it was more scary than painful. So watching this video gave more understanding of what was going on. Thank you Ted-Ed!
Imagine using those room-sized negative pressure ventilators for COVID 19.
Thanks to Science!
Francis Dave Cabanting, they’d have to drill a lot more neck holes!
This videos are so educational, my kids and I have watch all of your videos and rewatch them again and again. Keep it up TED ED
I'm really glad this video exists. But it does bring back some bad memories from when my grandpa had to go on it. I'll never forget how painful it looked, and what they don't tell you is that while you're on a ventilator you can't cough, so every few hours the nurses would come in and insert a second smaller tube down the main breathing tube that would go further into the lungs to clean out the mucus since the body can't do it itself. Even under sedation I could see his body struggling and heart rate go up as they were doing this and it's just truly horrible to watch. Please just don't get covid, don't make your family members watch you go through that too.
I've been brought back from death more than once by the use of this device including a couple of times when I hadn't been breathing for over 15 minutes which I would never have thought possible and yet it's true.
Thanks Andy the Dutchman 👍
Love how Ted ed teaches us such complex topics efficiently 💖
Its pretty impressive how a tiny hand machine improved into this!
I was put on a ventilator before due to asthma
But still this is pretty impressive!!
Liked how that person is wearing mask at the beginning , well done TED
"Hey kid. Wanna buy a *respiratory system*?"
Me who has asthma YES, please!!

As an ICU nurse, I wish that there would be operator-easy and user-friendly ventilators. Could someone invent ventilators that are cost-effective and easy-to-use?
The one I was in, was brand new to the hospital but only certain staff could use them because the nurses hadn't gotten the training to use them yet but they seemed really easy to set up and use, even I learned how most of It worked just by looking at them settings it up. Maybe soon enough those will be the standard.
Being on a ventilator for nearly 3 months really sucks but without one I wouldn't be here today.
Can we appreciate how beautiful the animation is

I had to get intubated over half a year ago because I had kidney damage because of my lupus. My body was swelling badly and I couldn't breathe. I saw this video and wanted to learn a little more about it.
I remember when I got the tube taken out I couldn't talk or eat properly(I also couldn't move or sit properly either; I was unconscious for a few days)
I told myself 'never again' so I'm trying to take care of myself even more so I don't have to go thru something like that again
Hi my dad was on ventilator last year and we lost him...can you plz tell me whether even after sedation you had concious like could u hear doctors talking
@@MySelfImprovementJourneyByD you have my condolences
No I wasn't conscious during the time I was on a ventilator

Ted Ed thanks
I was just studying about ventilation and suddenly your notification popped which really helped me to understand it easily
It's kind of cool that you're creating videos that relate to what's going on at the moment.
This is something I've never really thought about in my life. How do ventilators work anyways? Now at least I know. Thanks for the very interesting and informative video about how ventilators were formed and hope to see more.
go to How things Work a website.
Can you pls make a video about' How TedEd makes their videos'... including the research required, narration, animation,etc
Thank you very much for giving complete information about ventilators.
Excellent! Thank you very much!
Believe me, you don't want to be ventilated it's like waterboarding and you have no control over it. If you have asthma be especially wary that they treat your asthma instead of turning up the damn torture device.
I had be intubated once. It wasn’t fun. Not only could I not speak when the tube was in, but when the extracted it, it caused damage to my voice. Stay safe everyone so you don’t have to ever experience this.
Hi ....during sedation you could hear what's happening outside u
A very needed video.
How you present the problem and details is so cool. It is super easy to understand... except for parts before ted ed riddles.
I just love Ted Ed still teach me new thing that I didn't know especially about covid19! Really amazing, please keep up the amazing job! My quarantine day get less boring after binge watch you guys vids!
The tube going inside his mouth and blocked it made me feel breathless
Lovely animations as always! :)
great animations once again, never fail to impress
Great info. I love this info, however, other muscles, such as the intercostals, as well as the sternocleidomastoid are involved with breathing.
Interestingly and this is somewhat a cautionary tale. Being put on a vent can signal to your lungs to "give up" and let the vent do all the work leaving the lungs more vulnerable to the attack resulting in cases where a body capable of surviving has its legs taken out by a crutch and flatlines.
Interestingly and true story. Seen hundreds of patients sedated and ventilated. But majority (like more than 95%) were able to be discharged without any breathing problems. They can return to their normal life as before.
These animations are extremely well done
The animated videos are so cool because at the same time you learn so much stuff!
i watch educational videos when im struggling to fall asleep and its 100% effective.
good night
I am a TED ED fan... and inspired to watch TED ED wearing a mask .Well, stay safe TED ED and keep us teaching... 😍 I am eagerly waiting for a new animated enjoyable lesson...
Wonderful education in simple & effective explanation. Thanks.
Super video 💪👍👍 I like the simplicity of Ted Ed video. keep on going

Just amazingly u nailed it....thank you sir for this wonderful vdo animation 😊🙏
Wow Ted-Ed awesome video I never knew how ventilators worked and also I like how you post a video almost everyday.
1:53 when a fire extinguisher is the thing that causes the fire, you know for a fact that something isn't right with the world.
They can be used as a defence weapon
1:31 I have experienced this many times.
It's scary. Feels aa if u are going to die 😭
Ok
My brother spend 23days finally dead😭
Nice video
Always accurate and very helpful too
Nice job TED-Ed
Thank you for this video
The lack of ventilators in hospitals is a serious air-or if you ask me.
I love this, in moments without hope, Education is the path to the future
Actually God and JESUS are the path. Call on JESUS CHRISt and be saved. Admit do wrong. Believe JESUS son of God.
Have Faith till end. Say it outloud. Read bible Book of John for more. Here will find hope.
This is very imformative! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your awesome video I'm in the hospital now with covet and is having trouble breathing your video helped me understand it more
The beginning was just terrifying, the rest was interesting
00:38
Yo kid want some lungs , come on here quick
Exact;y what I was thinking and here we have the video! Very informative topic man!
Crazy is that the very thing this vid is covering is the thing that probably saved millions of lives at this moment

As a Respiratory Therapist, I will show this to my students. But would like to point out the tidal volume of 1556 ml would be a cause of the lung damage referenced earlier. It will be interesting to see if the students catch this. Thank you for the great graphics and video.
I'm currently in RT school and found that very interesting, as we did touch on ventilator associated pneumonia
this is the earliest i’ve been in a TED video lmaoo
Me too 😂😂
After being on a vent 3 times i can say it was the worst experience of my life
why 3x?
Binge-watching Ted-Ed during quarantine keeps me sane
I loved this video a lot Thanks for the explanation
Wait what extinguisher start fire
1:54
The last few lines are very true and India currently is knowing the value of those lines. We badly need Ventilators :(
You make things simple nso they are easy to learn
Good work
Thanks for the info!
