Breathing pattern
- Ascending phase - the frequency and depth of respiration increase;
- Descending phase ;
- Apnoeic pause (not a condition)[1].
Cheyne-Stokes respiration is characteristic of damage to the respiratory center in the elongated spinal cord . It requires immediate provision of vital signs[1], if the patient is Unconscious at the same time. Similarly, wavy breathing occurs when staying in an alpine environment (especially in sleep). This is due to the different irritability of the respiratory center to the level of CO 2 and oxygen (its content is low at high altitude, this is compensated by hyperventilation resulting in lower CO 2 tension in the indoor environment). A similar phenomenon can be observed in atherosclerotic CNS disease of a more advanced stage even when the patient is fully conscious.
