He is instantly ripped out of his kayak. His heartrate slows from 70 to 45 bpm.]]> 2023-05-04 13:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578316951 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578319911 Carbon dioxide is building in his muscles and organs. He feels the urge to breathe.]]> 2023-05-04 13:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578319911 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578323943 Matt was flushed out of the hole. His body did gas exchange - changed carbon dioxide for oxygen. ]]> 2023-05-04 13:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578323943 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578325871 He entered a calmer pool of water. He tries to reach the surface but gets pulled into another hole. He can't breathe.]]> 2023-05-04 13:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578325871 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578329934 His consciousness has begun to shrink from the lack of oxygen. His blood has begun to turn bluish. He is suffering the symptoms of hypoxia - the lack of oxygen in the bodies tissues. Lactic acid has built up in his muscles. Matt exhales the carbon dioxide, but then breathes in a breathful of foam.]]> 2023-05-04 14:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578329934 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578331295 Matt's larynx spasms, closing on the water and foam. No more water is going to enter his lungs.]]> 2023-05-04 14:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578331295 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578333207 Matt's consciousness gets smaller and then blackens. The inhaled water has filled the alveoli sacs and washed out their protein coating. ]]> 2023-05-04 14:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578333207 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578336397 His body makes its last stand against the approach of death. The last stand can last very long in some cases. ]]> 2023-05-04 14:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578336397 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578337757 Matt is slowly ceasing to exist. His heartbeat still pushes a small amount of oxygen to his brain.]]> 2023-05-04 14:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578337757 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578338931 There is only a very small amount of oxygen remaining in Matt's body. His teammates scramble down the banks searching for his kayak, paddle, and him. His body is half a mile down the rapids.]]> 2023-05-04 14:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578338931 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578342736 Matt's brain function has ceased but there are flickers of electrical pulses still. His friends are still looking for him.]]> 2023-05-04 14:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578342736 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578345819 The searchers are now half a mile downstream from where they started. They start to panic even more and think that he has drowned. ]]> 2023-05-04 14:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578345819 530mef06 https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578347152 His friends try to find the Chinese official, but there is no luck finding Matt.]]> 2023-05-04 14:13:06 UTC https://padlet.com/530mef06/8fxghkokgkwnwnuf/wish/2578347152
