Cheyne-Stokes respiration
Cheyne-Stokes respiration[′chān·ē ′stōks res·pə′rā·shən] (medicine) Breathing characterized by periods of hyperpnea alternating with periods of apnea; rhythmic waxing and waning of respiration; occurs most commonly in older patients with heart failure and cerebrovascular disease. Cheyne-Stokes respiration
Cheyne-Stokes respiration [chān stōks] breathing characterized by rhythmic waxing and waning of the depth of respiration; the patient breathes deeply for a short time and then breathes very slightly or stops breathing altogether. The pattern occurs over and over, every 45 seconds to 3 minutes. Periodic breathing of this type is caused by disease affecting the respiratory centers, usually heart failure or brain damage.Cheyne-Stokes res·pi·ra·tion (chān stōks), Avoid the malapropism change-strokes and the misspellings Stoke and Stoke's.The pattern of breathing with gradual increase in depth and sometimes in rate to a maximum, followed by a decrease resulting in apnea; the cycles ordinarily are 30 seconds to 2 minutes in duration, with 5-30 seconds of apnea; seen with bilateral deep cerebral hemispheric lesions, with metabolic encephalopathy, and, characteristically, in coma from affection of the nervous centers of respiration.Cheyne-Stokes respiration (chān′stōks′, chā′nē-stōks′)n. An abnormal type of breathing seen especially in comatose patients, characterized by alternating periods of shallow and deep breathing.Cheyne-Stokes respiration A clinical form of recurrent apnoea seen in patients with neurologic and heart disease, which is characterised by regular volleys of apnoea followed by regular “crescendo-decrescendo” fluctuations in respiratory rate and tidal volume (hypoventilation or hyperventilation). Triggers Increased arterial PCO2, sedatives, opiates. It is more common during sleep and at high altitudes, and seen in comas secondary to cerebrovascular accidents and severe neurologic insults.Cheyne-Stokes res·pi·rat·ion (chān stōks res'pir-ā'shŭn) The pattern of breathing with gradual increase in depth and sometimes in rate to a maximum, followed by a decrease resulting in apnea; the cycles ordinarily are 30 seconds to 2 minutes in duration, with 5 to 30 seconds of apnea; seen with bilateral deep febrile hemispheric lesions, with metabolic encephalopathy, and, characteristically, in coma from disorders of the nervous centers of respiration.Cheyne-Stokes respiration Periods of very shallow, almost imperceptible, breathing alternating with periods of deep breathing.
