Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A death rattle is a gurgling or rattle-like noise produced shortly before or after death by the accumulation of excessive respiratory secretions in the throat. Those who are dying may lose their ability to swallow, resulting in such an accumulation. While death rattle is a strong indication that someone is near death, it can also be produced by other problems that cause interference with the swallowing reflex, for instance, brain injuries. It is sometimes misinterpreted as the sound of the person choking to death. In hospice palliative care, drugs such as glycopyrronium, hyoscine hydrobromide or atropine may be used to reduce secretions and minimize this effect. Death rattle may also be used to refer to machines. A machine with death rattle typically suffers from a spun bearing or other major mechanical failure, causing it to make unusual noises.
