A death rattle is a medical term that describes the sound produced by someone who is near death when saliva accumulates 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.[citation needed]
It is sometimes misinterpreted as the sound of the person choking to death. In hospice and palliative care, drugs such as glycopyrronium, hyoscine hydrobromide or atropine may be used to reduce secretions and minimize this effect.
