- Oh! (gasps)
Oh, look at that.
(laughing) That tongue is awful.
Dates gone wrong,
sketchy medical practices,
and lots of things that go boom!
Grab your popcorn
and hopefully learn a little
because today in honor
of the new "Transformers" movie,
"Rise of the Beasts" coming out,
we are breaking down
and reacting to all of the over the top
medical scenes and wild injuries
from "Transformers".
♪ More than meets the eye ♪
Let's dive right in.
- Oh! (gasps)
Ohh, look at that.
(laughing) That tongue is awful.
- The biggest tongue in the world.
- [Jordan] A tongue doesn't naturally come out that far,
obviously this is a Decepticon.
The ability to stick your tongue to your nose,
that is called gorlin sign.
Some people in the population
are able to do it and some are not.
Oh! A little strangulation.
Getting strangled, right?
So two different mechanisms are occurring.
One, you're having compression to the airway itself,
which is cartilage.
The other mechanism is cutting off blood supply
going up and down out of your brain.
(Sam grunting)
Oh-
(Sam grunt and struggle)
Thrown around the room and getting posterior head trauma.
If you get hit
in the back of your head
where your optic nerves actually come in,
can actually mess with your vision
and then obviously you can cause skull fracture
and intracranial bleeding
as well as a coup contrecoup-
bruising injury to your brain.
(Bomb explodes)
An explosion like that's gonna cause
compressive type injuries
to people who may not have direct hit or contact
with that blast but are around it from the pressure.
♪ Pressure ♪
- [Jordan] We worry about
ruptured tympanic membranes or your eardrums.
We worry about rupture of your lungs
which we call as like a pneumothorax.
- Look it's... Look it's above you! Run!
(bomb explodes)
- So cool.
(Actor yelling)
- Oh,
whaaaaaaaaaaat was that?
- What the hell was that?
- All this tissue is gone.
You don't get burned that fast.
People who get cremated go into these containers
that the heat gets so high.
Even then, you're still having small pieces
of bone that actually don't break down.
- Come on, get in, let's go.
- You're seeing all this stuff coming down out of the sky.
You gotta be careful with that stuff
'cause it could be on fire.
♪ Fire ♪
- It could still be super hot and cause
burns when it actually touches your skin.
It might cause first degree or second degree burn.
(Robot rambling angrily)
He is forced down on a table. His arms are restrained.
We do use some restraints in the hospital
when people are agitated,
but we try to get them out of those restraints quickly
because we know that they potentially
can increase the risk of causing rhabdomyolysis.
(Robot rambling angrily)
- Oh, oh, oh!
(laughs) Up the nose!
We actually used something called a nasal speculum
that we use to look up somebody's nose
and shine lots of lights in there to take a look in.
We don't have these type of instruments.
Oh geez.
(robot continues angrily rambling)
He's not really being held down well.
He's being held down by his wrist.
Could actually cause a fracture the way
that they're holding it.
Sometimes say
a confused elderly woman
or man comes in,
we'll actually use a type of chair
that has like a nice table for them,
but they can't move the table.
But this way they feel more comfortable
instead of just restraining somebody.
(Robot angrily rambling)
- Oh! Nasty looking thing.
Opening the mouth, oh my gosh.
(groans) I would be gagging and vomiting.
People have a gag reflex.
Basically if something hits your uvula,
which is the punching bag in the back of your throat
or your tonsils or the posterior pharynx,
which is the back part of your mouth,
can cause you to gag and try to cough it out.
That way things don't go down that aren't supposed to.
(Robot continues to angrily ramble)
So it went into his mouth
but is now coming out his nasopharynx.
So it's in the back part.
- In the back.
- Okay.
(Robot continues to angrily ramble)
- ...lead us to the Energon source.
- It went in, it went out.
It's trying to get data from his brain
but there's something called your Cribriform Plate, which is
at the base preventing your brain from just falling out.
It's a bone on the bottom.
Sometimes you can have cribriform plate fractures
where you have CSF coming out of your nose.
(Robot shouting angrily)
- (Gasps)
- Brain?
Oh!
- Wow. So they were gonna try to cut open his brain.
- [Hans Moleman] Oh no, my brains.
- Wouldn't be good because it's not a sterile situation.
Typically, you would be sedated, you would not be awake.
Brain Surgery, most common is a meningioma,
a tumor.
A lot of times they are in the frontal lobe
so the only way to access them is to cut in the front.
Oh, nice.
Run!
Whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Whoa.
- [Doctor] Those compressive forces that are throwing you
through the air.
You have whiplash injuries,
you can have a cervical spine strain,
you can have muscle strains and gosh
he landed like perfectly.
But you can land on your head, snap your neck, you can land
on any extremity and if it's not in the right position
you can snap it or dislocate it pretty easy.
Okay, so...
No
that is not how you randomly do chest compressions
and it's really hard to do on a- a bad surface.
You really wanna have somebody on a good surface.
So you can actually have the force of your compressions go
on like something hard underneath them.
Thinking about doing a hundred compressions
per minute and making sure
that you push down and have enough time for recoil.
(Actor shouting)
Typically, if you have somebody that is there
that has an ambu bag and is medically trained
then you can do it without interrupting chest compressions
so you can be breathing
for that individual versus you actually can trade off
but you don't wanna trade off like mid-cycle.
You want the least amount
of interruptions of CPR as possible.
- 1, 2, 3.
- Okay, so they used.
the paddles, you're putting it on the right side chest,
left flank, because we want the energy going through.
You charge the machine, it takes maybe five to
ten seconds.
You continue to do CPR while you're charging,
and then right before you hit the button, you say-
- Clear!
That way nobody's touching the patient.
Yeah, you wouldn't look and listen
and feel at that moment. You continue to do CPR.
Sometimes the heart needs to be shocked
and then told how to beat, basically,
and that's why you're beating it for it,
and then hopefully it kicks into rhythm.
So doing it again, continuing.
You know, at this point, these are medics.
They probably should be intubating,
putting an endotracheal tube or breathing tube in
or at least doing a bag valve mask.
Airway, you know, this is a healthy individual,
Probably has a good five to eight minutes
of oxygen before it desats below 90%.
But you need to get in there.
- I love you.
- Oh, oh, all of a sudden
awa-
Oh , okay
Because of the awesomeness of the Transformers.
Typically people don't bounce up right away like that.
In situations where you need to do CPR, the person's been
down for a little while, they're still sleeping
and not with it and they'll be very confused.
They won't have the amount of energy that he is having.
This is good, Transformers.
