Cheyne-Stokes respiration

He was one of the people to identify Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

In those who have it, Cheyne-Stokes respirations occur while both awake and asleep.

She was extremely confused, and suffering from bradycardia and Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

In retrospect it was the emptiness that horrified her; it had been five months of Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

If any of these deviate from normal, this may indicate an underlying problem (such as with Cheyne-Stokes respiration)

Cheyne-Stokes respiration, which is alternating breathing in high frequency and low frequency from brain stem injury.

Adults suffering from congestive heart failure are at risk for a form of central sleep apnea called Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

When measured in patients with Cheyne-Stokes respiration, hypercapnic ventilatory responsiveness may be elevated by 100% or more.

Cheyne-Stokes respiration, another condition involving oxygen / carbon dioxide imbalance and which can affect healthy mountaineers.

It is a collective term referring to two breathing disorders: Cheyne-Stokes respiration and periodic breathing.

Cheyne-Stokes respiration and periodic breathing are the two regions on a spectrum of severity of oscillatory tidal volume.

In pure central sleep apnea or Cheyne-Stokes respiration, the brain's respiratory control centers are imbalanced during sleep.

Thus Cheyne-Stokes respiration can be maintained over periods of many minutes or hours with a repetitive pattern of apneas and hyperpneas.

Cheyne-Stokes respirations are not the same as Biot's respirations ("cluster breathing"), in which groups of breaths tend to be similar in size.

Cheyne-Stokes respiration, in which breathing is rapid for a period and then absent for a period, occurs because of injury to the cerebral hemispheres or diencephalon.

Respiration often takes on an abnormal pattern called Cheyne-Stokes respiration, which ranges from very shallow breaths to alternating periods of apnea and deep, rapid breathing.

In common medical practice, Biot's respiration is often clinically equivalent to Cheyne-Stokes respiration, although the two definitions are separated in some academic settings.

He died from "brain disease and Cheyne-Stokes respiration" at his summer residence in Thousand Island Park, and was buried at the Oakwood Cemetery in Syracuse.

Possibly owing to changes in pulmonary oxygen stores, sleeping on one's side (as opposed to on one's back) has been found to be helpful for central sleep apnea with Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

Hyperventilation can also occur as a consequence of various lung diseases, head injury, or stroke (central neurogenic hyperventilation, apneustic respirations, ataxic respiration, Cheyne-Stokes respiration or Biot's respiration) and various lifestyle causes.

The distinction lies in what is observed at the trough of ventilation: Cheyne-Stokes respiration involves apnea (since apnea is a prominent feature in their original description) while periodic breathing involves hypopnea (abnormally small but not absent breaths).

Neurologic changes seen in increased ICP are mostly due to hypoxia and hypercapnea and are as follows: decreased level of consciousness (LOC), Cheyne-Stokes respiration, hyperventilation, sluggish dilated pupils and widened pulse pressure.

From time to time there would be episodes of Cheyne-Stokes respiration, in which the breaths would come farther and farther apart, then cease altogether for nearly a full minute before resuming with a snoring gasp- Steinbrenner had said that the condition was probably benign.
