Process and the signs of death

All that life will surely die. What kind of death process that will be experienced by every living being?

Not easy to predict exactly when someone will die. Death itself can be caused by illness, accident or other causes.

Under normal circumstances, such as the sick person will usually show symptoms that indicate that his life would soon end a few more weeks as quoted from Mayoclinic namely:

1.Merasa restless. A person will feel ill at ease and difficulty sleeping, and besides, she would often change positions during sleep due to anxiety.
2.Menarik themselves. Someone does not want to get involved in social activities or doing his favorite activities.

3.Sering sleepy. A person will spend more time sleeping.

4.Kehilangan appetite. Someone will just eat and drink in small amounts and different than usual.

5.Mengalami pause while breathing. This usually occurs when a person is asleep or awake.

6.Luka are difficult to heal. Sores or infections that have experienced difficulties to be healed.

7.Pembengkakan. In some swelling in the hands, feet or other body parts.

The process of dying began to occur when the body can not get the oxygen needed to survive. Different cells will have a different mortality rate, so the length of a person's dying process depends on cells that lack oxygen.

While the brain needs oxygen in large numbers and have few reserves of oxygen. So if the intake of oxygen is reduced it will result in cell death within 3-7 minutes.

Some of the signs exhibited by the dying person is more sleep, this is to save a little energy remaining in the body. When the energy is lost, then someone will lose the appetite to eat or drink. The process of swallowing becomes difficult and will be very dry mouth, forcing people who are dying for a drink would make him choke.

Also people who are dying to lose control of the bladder and intestines, so often seen bedwetting. People will feel confused, restless and not being able to breathe regularly. When cells in the body begins to lose the connection, then it will experience muscle spasms.

Death would be getting closer when the feet and hands felt cold and started a little blue due to interruption of blood flow to the area. But in time they will increasingly spread to the upper body such as arms, lips and nails. Additionally person becomes unresponsive, although her eyes were open but had a blank stare or do not see around them.

After that breathing would stop completely and followed by a cessation of the heart, then that person is clinically dead because there is no circulation and reserve oxygen to reach cells in the body. But clinical death can be restored through the process of CPR (breathing assistance), transfusion or ventilator. But if the 4-6 minutes after clinical death there is no change, then that means the heart can no longer work.

Because the heart is not working, then automatically the flow of blood and oxygen throughout the body and brain will also be stopped. Due to lack of oxygen and blood to the brain, the brain in a matter of a few seconds will also die and that is where the end of life journey of a man
