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 father is a cardiologist and showed this video to him and he said “this the best explanation of how a ventilator works.”
very informative
Can someone explain the low pressure part? How does the chest cavity expand when the pressure outside is low? Shouldn’t the chest cavity have a lower pressure than outside for air to move in? I don’t know but this is what I am taught
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.
Is that really how you pronounce alveoli? Or just in the US?
1:04
red blood cells aren’t tracks!
they’re cute anime girls
Too much pressure, not enough oxygen
Let’s ask taxpayer to consider that life saving machine 👍.
Looked at the numbers from covid? Seems like they are doing as much harm as good.
No. That’s just wrong. They definitely do way more good than harm. People who got a ventilator would almost certainly have died without it. I mean, it’s not perfect, many people still die.
this is cool it is an inflation
Alex Gendler love this voice
Wow it’s informative😮
All I watch in science
,
How has nobody noticed the mask in the beginning of the video whatttt
What TedEd failed to tell you is that the death rate of people on ventilators is higher than those without it
0:53 is this how Americans pronounce alveoli and capillaries?? Never heard of them being pronounced like that before.
So that’s why automakers were offering to try and build these things…
Your are now mechanically breathing. All star is playing in your head
Great video. Unrelated thought, found this gem on the narrator’s imdb page https://www.imdb.com/video/vi2442049817?playlistId=nm3438353&ref_=nm_ov_vi
You know this is serious when an animated character it wearing a mask
My brother as asthma and we have a mini vetilator at home.. i always wondered how it worked and what does it mainly do!
Darth Vader approves 😎👍
thank you
I can wait to the next episode of think like a coder
low-cost ? That’s a no-no since we can’t make money selling em.
Why do some people’s work only is appreciated only after they die
In 16century Flemish physion Andreas vesaliy had a great idea to invent this thing slowly slowly it became and very useful things for human also I am very glad that we use his ideas till now .as iron lung to save people
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. 🌎
You are late uploading this video just by couple of months.
How about how do allergic reactions work
Good job 🙂
Is this painful? I remember my father was under mechanical ventilator for 2 months and when he is being sunctioned it appears painful, Aghhh its also painful remembering it now
Maybe ur father was feeling some other way.. my brother has asthma and at one point he had to stay at a hospital for 1 week the hospital also gave us a mini ventilator at home but he felt ok (btw at this time he was 10)
If my lungs will be damaged permanently from using an invasive ventilator, then I’d rather ONLY use non-invasive methods no matter how much of an emergency. If I die, oh well, we all have to go at some point.
Extra Air And the coronavirus wont be there
ERROR: The ventilator at 3:00 is in blow mode and therefor create a pressure, not a vacuum.
Hey immune system, i have an idea, when you detect a foreign body (whether it be a pathogenic microorganism or a allergen), how about you DON’T send yourself into overdrive killing us.
The immune system is literally the embodiment of the saying “Don’t drink poison expecting it to harm your enemies”
You have great voice addison adreson.
Nope, I am now breathing manually thanks to this video HAHA
Here I am, 1:40am wondering how ventilators work. Do not question my late night thoughts lol
Scp
My mum had to be put on a ventilator and i never have been that scared in my life. But thank God she is okay now
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
Are there any lesson plans for these videos?
My granny was put on one for a month, it’s an awful feeling to have it in you, she was begging us to take it out. :/
https://tasueq.com/last-article/
Hey, hey kid, wanna see my lungs?
My breath is being rattled
1:45 that’s corona
I’ve read the opposite for Covid 19: blood clots preventing O2 from entering the blood flow and ventilators killing more patients by forcing air where they can’t pass.
Asthma sucks
As a person who has asthma for atleast 8 years this is the video i was looking for on how those “smoke generators” work lmao
I think Mahindra made low cost ventilators
Indian (ICMR) has developed many efficient and low cost ventilator.
My boy Addison must know a lot of things from narrating all of these TED ED videos.
I didn’t get what’s so trachea about breathing until it said “automatic”.
Why do you joke about this
They aren’t joking on this.
I have a question. If somebody is infected by covid-19, their lungs are damaged to the point they are put on a ventilator to survive. Is there a way, and how long would it take, for such patient to recover normal lung functionality after the decease is treated ? Do the lungs eventually recover the damage ? It probably depends on the severity of the damage, but still.
And now you are doing this
Can we appreciate how beautiful the animation is
*they work because they work*
But I saw someone in the hospital and their family denied to use ventilator on patient!
I have difficulty understanding why can’t quantum entanglement be used for communication. Can you please make me understand it.
And we don’t thank God enough.
2 mistakes in the first minute of video. 1/ The animation showing the functioning of the diaphragm is completely wrong; an unimportant but very basic mistake. It just tells that the graphic designer has not clue about anatomy and relspiration, was let on his own to do his job, and the ressult was not properly reviewed. This is not how I thouht a reputed science channel would work. 2/ Sleep apnea is attributed to a dysfunction of the diaphragm. Another unimportant but so basic mistake, this time involving the author him/herself. Same remark as for the graphics, but targeting the highest level. My conclusion is that, from top to bottom, this video has not gone through any review process before being published.
I like how the dude in the intro had a mask
Not about this subject though but I need answers. If there are parallel universes and everything we think can be real in a parallel universe, we can think there are no parallel universes, that means in a parallel universe it can be real. If there are not parallel universes in that universe then WE DON’T EXIST. Look what you made me do coronavirus!
Also after a few days on a ventilator your body becomes dependent on it. Then they take you off it and you die. That’s how most of the COVID 19 deaths happen.
Ted ed what is Trickling
The soap is good, but you better not drop it!
the animation and the way he says alveoli😅
my body watching this:
ok now you can’t breathe
bruh just shove a bicycle pump down their throat, give them a few good pump and they will be fine
Shouldn’t Covid-19 be treated differently than pneumonia or other respiratory diseases?
We still don’t fully understand the virus itself and patients are getting ventilated intensively. It could be doing more harm than good. They suggests that they rupture the lungs leading to death of covid patients because of too much pressure.
You cannot just treat something unknown with something you think will work because it always worked in that certain scenario or because it’s similar cases. Especially if there’s a risk.
I’m not saying that I know everything or that patients with covid to stop getting ventilators and I can understand that nurses and doctors only wants to help.
It’s difficult because we don’t exactly know whether it’s helping or not. I don’t know what exactly should be done…
I like how you put a mouth mask on the person in the into
These animations are extremely well done
Lol at flasher
Remember when this was all anyone was talking about
Why were there so many Covid-19 deaths associated with ventilator use? Was it an unexpected side effect or unforeseen development in the course of the disease?
Even ted ed symbol wears mask😂
1:31 I have experienced this many times.
It’s scary. Feels aa if u are going to die 😭
Shocked to see the updated intro.
But that’s the reality we are living in as of now 😑
Please upload a video about Astro Dynamics
ventilators are so complex to make and operate but since pandemic, i am reading news every second day that ventilator invented at INR 15,000 ( USD 210) only.
Then whats thoracostomy ?
Why do we not learn this AT SCHOOOOL
So basically fighting Covid-19 is an engineering problem. Build artifical lungs, which the virus can’t affect and the whole pandemic becones history. Of course, it’s easier said than done. But “in principle” this sounds like the perfect solution IMHO.
The flasher was showing lungs
Basically vesalius was also a veterinarian ..
Hey random people!!
Stay safe!! Stay at home ❤❤
Oh ! Allah you gave good breathing mechanism…….
How about we just use a lungs transplant
Crazy is that the very thing this vid is covering is the thing that probably saved millions of lives at this moment
It is all in the BREATHING son.
If not for some random 16th century dude, millions would have been dead in weeks
I have asthma =( and my asthma is from my mom so technically my asthma is from a genetic from my mom =( ………….
I want to know how to build one
That Trader Joe’s animation
Pls upload a video for sodium potassium balance of body
yeay i love that, now ted ed available a running text thnks ted ed
Who’s watching at home😊
Why do I see dead people in my dreams?
Can you answer me @Ted ed
Pls do think like a coder episode 9
Now make a video on where your patrons get their money from.
That new intro was lit af
Us: Iron Lungs
Spongebob: Iron B*tt
Who else forgot how to breathe while watching this
i always thought our lungs expanded i didn’t know anything about the diaphragm except it causes hiccups.
i want alex gendler to adopt me please
Great info. I love this info, however, other muscles, such as the intercostals, as well as the sternocleidomastoid are involved with breathing.
is it only me or the ventilator looks sad?
Why was a shady person hiding behind a tree used as a medical example?
Seriously wtf..
DEVARMONT7, he pulled open his chest cavity like a flasher pulls open his coat.
I reme watching Ted ed and when I was 5 yrs old!
My doctor told me, last week, that 50% of EVERYONE who goes on a ventalator, no matter the age or reason, dies!
And very few people who get put on them for COVID-19 actually recover. Most are either still on them, in slightly better shape but still in the ICU, or dead. That’s why they’re a last resort. They don’t save a whole lot of people who get that sick.
50%
Oh thank god you didn’t show intubation process. It scares me!
thats were project pitlane come in ;D
Did anyone else notice that the guy in the start of the video is wearing a mask?
Polio polio poliovirus iron lung
The fact that they emphasis their concluding video with the need for more ventilators in lower cost. Shows that TedEd is addressing the lack of ventilators seriously in mids of a global pandemic thru informative videos. And this also show that the government should address this issue to help public and private hospitals with a balloon of covid-19 patients.
Ironic how the guy is Flemish and there’s that stuff called phlegm from the respiratory tract.
Breathing manually
My school never say about that . Thank you ! (Sorry i’m not good English😅)
Please make a follow-up video on the mental affects of being put on a ventilator.
What makes medical equipments so costly by the way?
Exact;y what I was thinking and here we have the video! Very informative topic man!
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.
Ventilators are a last resort but they being used on basically everyones uncle
Chris evo, because so many people have gotten that sick.
Please make a video on HOW DOES A CATALYST WORK?
Vizcarra nos trajo cajas vacias en lugar de ventiladores, que basura.
*hey kid, want som lungs?*
Lol, the mask.
thanks, now i have to think about breathing
Me: **bold enough deciding to take med tech in college**
Also me: **has a phobia of syringes/ incision**
460th
Inspired by you, we have also started an educational youtube channel!
We are trying our best to provide knowledgeable content! Thanks!
And to think that this entire process of breathing is natural should make us grateful to our creator who enables us to breathe and takes care of our vitals.
Almighty God says:
“So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?”
Qur’an 55:13
Is it me or the video feels the usual speed at 1.25x?
How you present the problem and details is so cool. It is super easy to understand… except for parts before ted ed riddles.
Andreas Vesalius : Kills an animals by bursting its lungs………
…….. later becomes FATHER OF VENTILATOR
Fantastic video, but quite a noticeable mispronunciation of “alveoli”. Please see this example highlighting the accepted standard pronunciation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJRHIq6ynXY
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
What if all the ventilators in a hospital are used, but another covid patient badly needs one. What do they do?
Your pronunciation of alveoli is hurting my head. The emphasis surely goes on the O, like alveOli
Im living for their new intro
00:38
Yo kid want some lungs , come on here quick
the ventilators can’t really be low-cost. like most solutions we’ve seen over the past 4 months. low-cost solutions are missing the most important parts (i.e. valves, backflow regulators, moisture control etc.pp.) and do more harm than good.
It’s kind of cool that you’re creating videos that relate to what’s going on at the moment.
anyone notice the new intro?
Wait what about the tube that put the air way does it feel choke or hurt the air hole.
I don’t what it feel like to put something in there for me it’s make me panic very fast.
That guy was definitely Big Brain , just compare his head to his hands
Nice attention to detail 👌
This video made me breath manually.
I don’t quite get why we need the image of a man in a dark coat appearing from the shadow of an absurdely thin tree at the side of a calm but pretty random road to understand the respiratory system.
Totally doesn’t help my anxiety.
I *LOVE* your videos! Such intelligent content, great narration, and a retired sketch artist from Monty Python 😀
Just really like how the human head is wearing mask during a pandemic
When will the next episode of think like a coder come out
Awesome Intro with the guy with mask!! Big brain dude
Will covid19 ends?
I’m only slightly sad that they went with dumptrucks to demonstrate red blood cells and not a red headed anime girl pushing a cart.
Ted ex one of the Best Educational channel Explanation of Day to day science Ventilator , Corna virus & many more Today is technology tomorrow day to day life used 👍👍👍👍👍
Why does the ventilator look like Karen from Spongebob
I got sick and I was having raspy breaths apparently so I used a ventilator like this to help my breathing cause my doctors thought I. Had asthma
woow .nice explaintion
Can ted ed post a video on how the treatment of COVID-19 is done
The Animation Team behind Ted Ed are so damn talented.
Sadly 88% of patients on ventilators die. 😔
Ventilators have actually been known to cause lung damage and can even cause lungs to collapse. This has only been discovered recently, in part due to all of the corona patients
They only put people on them when they can’t get enough oxygen into them with the oxygen masks, so they’re pretty far gone, anyway. It will be interesting to learn how effective they actually were when this is all said and done. I wonder if full sedation has anything to do with the death rates of ventilated patients and if the old iron lungs would have worked better.
Yep they found a ventilator is at best a last ditch effort and at worst a death sentence for COVID patients. Wonder how many of those 100000 died due to ventilators damaging their lungs worse than the virus…
Hello TED-Ed, i have a request please make a video on how does Pranayam and Kapal bhati (Breathing exercises) impacts on your body and is it really helpful to eradicate all lungs and cardiovascular diseases.
Breathing is automatic.
Me who thought about breathing: * manually contracts and expands diaphragm *
Wow a day later after they turn off her ventilator and passed
Love the fact that this TedEd opening mkntage features a person wearing a face mask
Suggestion
Can your next video be about circulatory system disorders
•High BP
•Coronary Artery Disease
•Angina
•Heart Failure
*Suggestion*
you Next Video be about Respiratory disease
Specifically
•Asthama
•Emphysema
•Occupatiobal Respiratory Disorder
queria comentar algo nomas xddd
Pray for the people 🙏 who are in ventilators right now.
As a Respiratory Therapist, I find this video concise and very educational. Excellent illustration and animation TED.
I never knew how the iron lung worked. Thanks for the video!
im getting claustrophobic just looking at that iron lung
Gah! Stop pronouncing alveoli like that!
Though they help in some ways but aren’t ventilators damaging on the lungs?
Binge-watching Ted-Ed during quarantine keeps me sane
I love this, in moments without hope, Education is the path to the future
GREAT
1:24 *switch to manual mode*
I wonder if more focus could have been put on positive pressure ventilators bursting alveoli if you don’t have the complex computer portion.
Props for the sleep apnea, the animation was spot on even if the description sounded more like an issue with the diaphraghm rather than the tongue/nose.
So why can’t we mass produce negative pressure ventilators right now? They spread the oxygen more evenly, and given the understaffing issue with the huge number of patients, isn’t it less of an issue if we have less access to the body?
0:02 Glad they’re being safe with a mask!
Why won’t you talk about the covi patients who are inhaling a toxic chemical through the respiratory
You mean oxygen? Oxygen kills you. Dont breath.
i dont think so
That was a really good video and I learned a lot thank you for your time
You know that you were breathing manually while watching this
This narrator doesn’t know how to pronounce alveoli. It’s distracting from the video’s narrative…
What about the death mortality of being on ventilators?
What about mortality rate in people above 100 years old?
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
Guy at 0:38: *rips chest open to show respiratory system*
You just gotta love that mask at the intro.
great animations once again, never fail to impress
Is it possible to difuse o2 directly to the blood?
Or is it too impractical as the sheer quantity that should be delivered isn’t feasibility?
I imagine having several dialisis at the same time, just a shower thought
why don’t they just inject oxygen directly into the blood?
they legit changed the logo lol
When he explained how the lungs worked, my lungs felt weird
How do ventilators work
Me : which time are you from
I had pneumonia earlier this year. I was put in the ICU and almost needed to have a ventilator. It was really scary.
did u edit this video for sars cov 2
“Hey kid. Wanna buy a *respiratory system*?”
Me who has asthma YES, please!!
I don’t think that is how you pronounce “alveoli.”
Who else is breathing voluntarily? And because your breathing voluntary, now you’re blinking voluntarily too?
I love the person’s voice who always does these videos
Positive pressure ventilators probably kill more people than they save.
It doesn’t seem right to phrase it like that. Think of it as successful rescue mission instead of murder.
The person is already dying, so the machine can’t kill. It can only save (that is, prolong). Maybe the machine is too much or not enough, but someone already dying killed sooner, well, the argument is foggy.
In essence, the machine kills on accident, never purposefully.
3:07 anime girls
0:46 I was flashed
Now its getting tough to breathe.
is it just me or is he saying alveoli really weirdly
Next do a video about ECMO please.
even the intro man wears mask. nice try, TED-ed.
I hope I won’t be needing it when the delayed monthly bills arrive
The high pItched CRT ringing(use headphones) at 5:10 brought back so many memories…nice attention to detail
I love how they put a mask on the intro guy
Him: avelali
Me: the word is actually aveolai
Alveoli*
A flasher
Here in Brazil scientists invented respirators that cost more than 10 times less than the standard ones for the coronavirus crisis, but they’re not being built because of our government.
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?
Why does everyone think, that doctors develop the machines? They probably just help in the development. Perhaps TED ED ment doctors in engineering 🤔😂
“even more essential than we thought.” Except, you know, most people who go on invasive ventilators DIE because the body realizes it doesn’t need to control its lungs anymore, so when the person is taken off the device their body gives up and they croak. If you have the choice and want to live, say no.
Anybody else just become suddenly aware of their breathing?
We all know why this video came out,
*DON’T WE?* 🥱
um i’m just going to mention here and i know this is going to get me a lot of hate but the ventilators weren’t actually particularly helpful for covid. better than nothing but once you were put on a ventilator still a 90+% chance of death. we also were able to produce them quickly enough that there wasn’t a general shortage but localized shortages similar to how mcdonalds can serve thousands of burgers a day but if all of them went to one restaurant it would be overrun while the rest would be empty. we’ve also produced enough that we are now giving them away to other countries.
No hate
Unless there’s anything “better than ventilators,” “better than nothing” is the best. It’s a higher survival rate!
(By better, think “more efficient, effective, or usable/distributable”)
You have know noticed you are breathing manually
Ygbvhfgfglpo,Kim. Is mi “boo!”
Hi
I don’t understand why a ventilator costs so much, they can be easily build with an Arduino, some tubes, an electric motor, some sensors and an air plump.
2:05 *starts syncing his breathing with the machine*
Awesome
Great Explanation 👌🏾
I cringed every time alveoli was said😬
dat new intro tho 😂😂
This video reminds me of my mom who passed away last year
She used ventilator to support her breathing 🙁
Breathe in and out
your gonna hate me for saying that
the covid pandemic got so bad the intro wore a mask
Could there be one day developed a device that makes the direct gas exchange into the blood? Like in a dialysis but exchanging O2 and CO2. An artificial external lung…?
Everybody is paying attention to their breathing while watching this.
How do ventilators kill people?
Many doctors recommend NOT putting corona patients on these…. Because the mortality rate rises if you do.
Just a FYI.
“To appreciate the value of ventilation, we need to understand how the respiratory system works.”
Eminem: I don’t understand anything you just said.
I Love the intro 😍😍
We have more than enough of them now 🙂
In my country they invented the low cost ventilator with cost of lower than $1000
If the ted guy at the beginning of the video wears a mask you don’t have much of an excuse
Nice video
Always accurate and very helpful too
Nice job TED-Ed
*Some private hospitals in India continue to keep dead people on ventilators for extra cash* … My reports have come… Sheer violation of ethics
so you made less of them so more people die that means less mouths to feed and you keep their money
3:21 Reminds me of the Iron Lung creepy pasta….monster 👹 inside the machine eats u while u are locked up and the authorities cover up the matter 😂
Must watch https://youtu.be/mi8xhJXkytk
Dangerous misinformation. Why not mention the death rate of covid patients on ventilators is 80+%, while those not intubated have a mortality rate close to 0%?
Coronavirus vaccine exists.
Ventilator companies : please don’t work🤞🏻
Ventilators needed here in mumbai
Face at the beginning of TED ED: *has face mask*
“We did it boys, *covid 19* is no more.”
Sir please make a video on any hindu myth please sir
I noticed there’s 2 ted channels on YouTube, is ted related to this ted ed ???
1:20 “if our respiratory system working correctly, this process happen automatically.”
My brain: Now *BREATH MANUALLY*
Appreciating every breath I take after watching this
Why it is only an English translation in this video ?😢😢
This is hella useful, thanks
Have stocks in Ventilator manufacturing dipped since they killed more than they saved?
Tuor 80, the question is whether the ventilators actually killed them or if they would have died without the ventilator, and it just kept them alive a little while longer.
1:33 when most people think of sleep apnea, they think of obstructive sleep apnea, not central sleep apnea. OSA isn’t an issue with the diaphragm, it’s an issue with upper airway obstruction due to things like collapse of the palate. This is evident because the diaphragm and muscles of the torso work just fine during an apneic episode, air just can’t find its way in easily.
btw for those of you guys don’t know what SARS COV2 its the scientific way of saying COVID-19
Everyone else – watching
Me – thinking how that man hid behind the thin tree at 0:38.
The narrator should be a audio book reader tbh.
Arent we going to talk about that guy has a exposed chest and has no rib cage
What a freak
Ventilator keeps a dead body alive indirectl🙃
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…
Look at you using accurate depictions of Vt, flow and pressure waveforms. I see you, baby.
TED-Ed everything i know is because of you pls do a video of Arabic History and i learned allot in this video
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.
3:34 the doctor realizes he’s dying
so he gets difibulator but it didn’t work cause he’s in a box. Silly doctor.
Can you pls make a video about’ How TedEd makes their videos’… including the research required, narration, animation,etc
Ted ed:*switches to mask intro*
“Sir our subs have tripled”
Ted ed CEO: K E E P T H E M A S K INTRO
i got a 26min ad for a 5 min video WTF!!
All we need is Xiaomi Ventilator.
I don’t know why I find your pronunciation of the word alveoli even more offensive than you pronunciation of capillaries. However, I do find myself violenty offended! XD
Press ‘F’ for the Medicare workers
Should not let Karen watch this.
They choose good to topic
It’s better to watch ted ed videos than taking online classes.
You guys still have some face masks..?
Nice.
Me learning from school: *Stoopid*
Me learning from Ted-Ed: *Smart*
Wow.. What a surprise, I just got done with my biology final and it had a lot of questions about ventilation.
On the side note, I liked the touch of mask in the beginning
1:21
*starts breathing manually*
Same lol
Why is the “Can you solve the Mondrian squares riddle? – Gordon Hamilton” video not in the riddle playlist?
Sorry for the question, but, what is the expensive part in a ventilator?
A video with the same title could be about the more technical aspects of ventilator. So, How do ventilators work? And then answer be about how the system creates pressure?, What are those graphs on the screen of ventilator? A Ted-Ed version of the aforementioned questions will be great!
Knowledge is power 🙂
According to another TED ED on asthma, the air has a hard time exiting the lungs. The animation shows it as having a hard time entering.
Breathing through a straw is exhausting both during inhalation and exhalation… so yep, both are right😕
Not well.
That’s how they work.
Not well.
I am The Grass Man and my Grass doesn’t need ventilators because they are better than humans
The Grass Man, until you chop off their heads with your lawnmower.
Imagine if the US government spends more money on medical devices and their manning instead of weapons of mass destructions used to raze deserts.
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!
I am a fan of u scientist
A very needed video.
Best intelegent Chanel *EVER*
DO NOT Go on a Ventilator if you have any breathing abilities, even if you have slow breathing stay far away unless it is absolutely needed!!!!!!!! Most who go on one, rarely breath on their own. This machine weakens your self breathing ability!
Yeah I watched the video. I’m guessing you didn’t 😂
OH MY….. Did that guy just stick a stick into the dog’s THROAT ! And then stated pumping it !? I’m shocked…
Manual Breathing is turned on the moment I saw this video
now i can make another thing that happens automatically not happen automatically. Think about blinking blinking blinking
Warning for those watching: you will have to manually control your breathing while doing so
So Early! 🙂 Thanks for keeping us from boredom!
I just started working with a company that makes respirators as an engineer. Went a internal company course just the other day that explained this process. Very simple and interesting. A complicated industry with heavily regulated processes though.
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!
there’s something about Ted Ed that makes me feel…calm
Ventilators don’t work. 90% of patients put on Ventilator, die. High dose Vitamin C is far better than Ventilator.
If your diagnosed by Covid
Ventilators would make you forget how to breathe. (By being Very reliant to it)
It’s torture Not having it, but around 80% die using Ventilators.
So.. Strengthen your Immune System guys, so you may be able to endure not having one

My mom has an intersticial lung disease and needed to be under sedated intubation. What they don’t tell you is it’s common for this emergency procedure to break teeth. My mom lost most all her front upper and lower teeth after being on a tube for over a week.
Ask the Donald to hook the hospitals up.
This video makes me breath manually
Too many people dying because hospitals just intubate & push drugs until the pneumonia gets pushed in deeper & peoples kidneys & heart fail. Then say oh it was pneumonia or CV. A person must be able to cough that mucus out & take vitamins not just suppress & drug. It’s murder.
Great video
Imagine if there are a lot of ventilators in our epoch but we haven’t noticed yet. Until in the future when people start using it.
You understand the idea of course.
Next: How does Donald Trump work?!?! 🤔😏👍
He doesn’t
Why do the doctors use heavy sedatation in order for the ventilators to work?
There are multiple reasons. If a patient requires high ventilator support, complete synchronization with the ventilator is required for optimum ventilation. Any spontaneous breathing ( ‘breathing in’ in the form of negative pressure) especially one with insufficient volume would interfere with the machines function to provide the mandatory breaths.
Another reason is getting your lungs inflated with high positive pressure isn’t a pleasant experience, therefore sedation would reduce anxiety and stress
That dog in the beginning tho
Fascinating.
1:44 oh yeah,it had to be this one…
So, after watching this, I gratefully take some slow, concious breaths of air.
IF I WAS A BILLIONAIRE I’D PUT UP A TV NETWORK AND GIVE IT TO TED-ED. THEY DESERVE MORE THAN THE PLATFORMS THEY CURRENTLY USE.
When will this Ted guy start teaching? Lol
this video traumatized me the second a drug dealer shows me his lungs to explain how my lungs work
0:02
They put up mask
5:10 High-pitched sound of cathode ray tube! Kudos to the attention to detail.
blowing into a balloon means i am the ventilator…. #smart.
No one?
This made me very conscious bout my breathing
5:10 yeahhh… that doesn’t sound nice😖 why would you put that🤣
They work by killing people.
When you see the mask of TEDed man… you know that the situation is bad
Even after patients death the hospitals keeps them as they are alive and earns money so they are seem to very
Postiveeeeeee ( to hospitals)
pressure (/family) ventilation ( who needs )
Dont send sick patients to hospital then? Let them died at home.
“What is a cronavirus?”
How do virus tests actually work?”
“How do ventilators work?”
Am I the only person here seeing a pattern here?
Now you breath manually
That being said the demand for ventilators in hospitals woukd go down if more people stayed home or wore masks when going outside
Imagine being one of the 7 people who disliked this video.
Kevin Luo The informed doctors are no longer using them, because they saw how much damage was being caused by the high pressure. The most successful treatments focus on cleaning the blood and increasing oxygen levels without ventilation.
@Bearly Listening But they are saving the lives of many people in the process.
@Bearly Listening then why are doctors using them?
DarkPlasma Ventilators are destroying the lungs of Covid patients and dramatically increasing the likelihood of death. Imagine being so clueless as to not know that.
those illustrations though
I think this is one of the greatest invention.
All the evidence is showing ventilators are a complete disaster for SARS-COV2 patients. Outdated mainstream medical advice is the biggest threat to public health we face.
Wait…🤣🤣 the shadowy flasher hiding behind a baby tree flung open his trench coat to reveal his respiratory organs🤣🤣.
The main problem with this video is that you immediately get into manual breathing mode
The tube going inside his mouth and blocked it made me feel breathless
According to me in total YouTube Ted ed has the best animation
@Anish Sah hahah
Kurzgesagt fans : you have provoked a gang war
I also like Kurzgesagt, they have cute animations.
I do like their animation, but I find Kurzgesagt does their animations better for their informative videos overall.
Vox and kurzgesagt too.
Friendly reminder that more Americans have died due to COVID-19 than the entire Vietnam War, a conflict spanning two decades.
@Maple Forest Please cite your source for that.
China sure did a good job with their Wuhan Virus bioweapon.
@Bearly Listening if it was only people like you, nobody would’ve taken quarantine time at all
@Bearly Listening let us not forget the US is at nearly double that upper limit and continues to increase and isnt bound to a season or time frame. Maybe we should value the lives of the more vulnerable members of society over a temporary loss to the economy.
Roem Daug The average flu season kills 40-50 thousand in America. Maybe we should shut down the economy forever and hide under our beds.
How did that guy come up with the idea of cutting a dog and then inserting air in it
shoving a tube into the patients throat reminds me of shoving a tube up your nose to just tested for the virus 🤢
Guys an animated character can wear a mask regularly so should u
“I don’t wanna! You can’t make me!”
-Covidiots
making the man in the intro wear a ventilator would suit this video
Superb ted 🔴
I really love your videos, love from india
Can you read an audiobook? your voice is so soothing
The animation is kinda funny
Ted Ed thanks
I was just studying about ventilation and suddenly your notification popped which really helped me to understand it easily
Ted is a golden mine
What happened to all the iron lungs? Surely some of them at least could be restored to working order in a pinch
The lack of ventilators in hospitals is a serious air-or if you ask me.
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.
I’m early btw ted Ed I’ve been here since 2014 thx for the great content
0:22 the moment he felt the guiltiness of inserting tube into the trechea of an animal.
I love Ted Ed. When I was in middle school, we would watch BrainPop and these videos remind me of that. 😂
I’m in middle school
brainpop kept me alive in third grade.
Literally
@WildKat Your school not mine. Public schools where I am from work :p
Indeed.
Where were you guys back in the day when I was an O’level and A’level student!
Given that it was at latest in the 80s TED talks probably didn’t exist when you were at that point in life let alone Ted ed.
I know that wasn’t your point but I think I’ve been able to pinpoint which of the multiple possible answers it is based on one question and I kind of want to know if I’m correct. Am I right you passed the exams in the 80s or earlier?
I should sleep
My breathing before this video:
“This process happens automatically,”
My breathing now:
Manual breathing mode activated
same
Thanks a lot. Your comment made me breathe and blink manually! 😒
i was just looking for this comment
I was defeated 20 seconds later after reading this comment
How do you randomly have the same profile picture though. I made this one in paint years ago.
med.ai
LMAOO the person on the intro has more common sense than lockdown protestors 😂😂😂
Short answer: they don’t!
No you can’t just save lives by using a machine to inflate lungs!
Haha ventilator goes brrrrr.
Recent data suggests that 2/3 of patients placed on a ventilator have died. How effective is this really?
do tell me if i said anything incorrect, thanks!
Hi! Ventilators are essential to help the patient survive longer, however the longer they use it, the more damage could be done, as the video has said. But that doesn’t mean that ventilators cause death, but it’s more like the patients are survive on ventilators, at the same time they are also taking damage from the ventilators and from their own illness. It’s more of a race of time to see can the patient recover quickly enough so that he/she doesn’t need the ventilator, or the patient will die because he/she did not manage to recover fast enough even though using a ventilator. I found this article that sort of explains why. Hope this helps

Joe Scrivano If your goal is to manufacture a crisis, then it’s extremely effective.
Tech support said to turn it off and on again…
… should have mentioned it was a ventilator.
Chest ventilation, chest ventilation, chest ventilation?!?
Manual respiratory breathing activated
This video make me breath voluntarily
Wow Ted-Ed awesome video I never knew how ventilators worked and also I like how you post a video almost everyday.
some guy: cuts a hole into a suffocating dogs throat into the trachea and inflites the dogs lung to prolong its life doctors 400 years later: aw yeah it’s big
brain time
@Yep It’s Me Did you just copy that other comment? (1)
@Yep It’s Me what other comment?
Did you just copy that other comment?
Love how Ted ed teaches us such complex topics efficiently 💖
You make things simple nso they are easy to learn
Good work
TED ED ….. i lik e ur voice
Alveoli helps is exchange of gases…..PERIOD…
Early
Portuguese translation please.
I feel sorry for the dog.
I know they have some of the hospitals has some of those old school iron lungs laying around. Why can’t they use those?
Whaa im early
I don’t really understand why they targeted the Incognito dude to contract the disease…
Fascinating as always
It’s kinda scary how sometimes the reactions of your body that are trying to save you can sometimes be what kills you…
Lil’ PEW LMFAO!
Well your body doesn’t just automatically kill you. Most people just damage their own bodies by taking drugs, smoking, drinking etc..
Blame china for making people’s life miserable and deaths
Autoimmune diseases: “hello”
This explains Trump voters to the T
Voting against their own self interest
When people discover giving AIR to the lungs
something it needs to SURVIVE ON
took until like the 16th century.
It took even longer to figure out that boiling stuff makes it not give you the lethal shits.
خبمبمبمبممق
Can you do how does carbon dating work ?
Hi
Can you make a video regarding cool physics things ??
Imagine being suffocated on the side of a desolate road and a lone ventilator rolls over towards you.
It would be suffocating and emergency had to bring in
696 likes lmao
Yep it happens to the best of us💔
Man that happens to me all the time
@Ryan yuan #Relatable

Am first
you are #22
hello there friend! C57a
Darn I had to breathe manually for the whole video !
Lovely animations as always! 🙂
Lets use bicycle pumps
Positive ventilation makes our body dependent, using negative ventilation the patient’s lungs can recover under the situation
0:40 imagine some guy walking up to u and just ripping his chest open
@Johhny johhny yes Papa *oml*
DONT SAY THAT!!!
Without a head 🤐
That would be super creepy
We were flashed
Early?
Begins breathing manually
Now I’m consciously breathing and I can’t put it in the background.
Inhales.
Exhales.
Am I the only one who find 0:39 creepy??
Potato….ooooh potatooooo
Congrats you’re not first
Super video 💪👍👍 I like the simplicity of Ted Ed video. keep on going

Earliest for me so far. This wonderful video was uploaded just 3 minutes ago.
It hasn’t even been a minute huh guess I’m early
some guy: cuts a hole into a suffocating dogs throat into the trachea and inflites the dogs lung to prolong its life
doctors 400 years later: aw yeah it’s big brain time
They like you omg
Investing at 37 likes
The dog: aw yeah it’s breathing time
I stop breathing atomically the whole video.
Omg this animation I have no words, 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow ted ed wearing mask
Love ur vids very informational keep up the good work👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
cool animation
These videos are very informational why don’t they teach this at school or at least let us watch this channel instead of others
Breathing happens automatically until you do it manually once
Legend has it that if one comments so early, Ted-Ed sees it themselves
sadly those are only legends. (imagine tou actualy get hearted.)
This is very imformative! Thank you!
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
*WHY THERE ARE 7 FIRSTS?*
When you get brushed off for helping suffocating animals breath but later get credited with one of the greatest inventions ever
stonks
He wasn’t really helping the animals, but okay.
Badger almost every scientist or artist ever
He died before getting proper credit tho, so… no stonks?
Reddit alert
They called me a madman
First comment from me
Liked how that person is wearing mask at the beginning , well done TED
Not first
But also not last
But when I saw the notification,
I clicked *F A S T*

The animated videos are so cool because at the same time you learn so much stuff!
There is a ventilator above my window…………..
……….pretty sure it doesn’t work like that
Good explanation!!
99.5% Will Ignore This!😭🥺
0.5% Stay Safe And Have A Beautiful Day!😇💯💥💖
