July 2009, I was told I exhibited Cheyne-Stokes pattern immediately following a SAH , and had Glascow Scale of 3. LifeFlight 70 miles to facility where I received two coils 4 days later, was comatose 28 days following surgery, IP Physical Rehab 6 weeks. I made the statement that I had double vision, then ten seconds later stated I had worst HA of my life, before collapsing. Yes, this is how it happens.
I think Cheyne-Stokes respiration has an abnormal oscillatory or "regular" (rather than "irregular") breathing rhythm, characterized by ventilation between apnea and hyperpnea (with a crescendo-diminuendo pattern). Since it goes through same pattern at every cycle, I think it has a regular rhythm. What do you think? 🤔
In actuality you're right but remember a "regular" breathing pattern is an I:E ratio of 1:2. Cheyenne stokes is not that, at all. Which is why they say it's "irregular"
