This is often associated with the end of life, and it can often be misinterpreted as choking, which can be misidentified as the cause of death.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the things you can do for death rattle is give an anticholinergic medication. This doesn&#8217;t get rid of already existing fluid, but it can prevent the formation of new fluid. Some of the medications given are scopolamine, hyoscine hydrobromide, and atropine. Other things you can do for the patient are provide oral care and suctioning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Death Rattle?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-16572","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"page_type-video","6":"page_domain-nursing"},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This video tutorial helps explain the basics of Death Rattle.
