Sounds of Breathing Patterns (Cheyne Stokes, Kussmaul's, Biot's)

Cheyne-Stokes respiration, often referred to as Cheyne-Stokes breathing, is a specific pattern of breathing characterized by a cyclical and rhythmic waxing and waning of respiration. This breathing pattern typically involves a gradual increase in the depth and frequency of breaths, followed by a gradual decrease until a temporary pause in breathing (apnea) occurs. This cycle then repeats itself. It is named after two physicians who independently described it in the early 19th century: John Cheyne and William Stokes.
Key features of Cheyne-Stokes respiration include:
1. Cyclic Pattern: Cheyne-Stokes respiration follows a distinct pattern, starting with shallow or slow breathing that gradually becomes deeper and faster, reaching a peak, and then reversing the process until a pause in breathing occurs. This entire cycle can last from seconds to a minute or more.
2. Apnea: The pattern includes a period of apnea, which is a temporary pause in breathing. During this time, there is no airflow in or out of the lungs. This pause is typically brief and is followed by the resumption of the waxing and waning pattern.
3. Causes: Cheyne-Stokes respiration is often associated with certain medical conditions, particularly those that affect the central nervous system or the respiratory control centers in the brain. Common causes include heart failure, stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, and certain drugs. It can also occur during sleep, known as Cheyne-Stokes respiration during sleep.
4. Clinical Significance: Recognizing Cheyne-Stokes respiration is important in a clinical setting because it can indicate an underlying medical problem, such as heart failure or brain injury. It is often seen as a sign of a serious condition and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
5. Treatment: The treatment of Cheyne-Stokes respiration involves addressing the underlying cause. For example, if it is associated with heart failure, managing the heart condition may help alleviate the breathing pattern. In some cases, supplemental oxygen or certain medications may be used to improve respiratory function.
6. Prognosis: The prognosis for individuals with Cheyne-Stokes respiration depends on the underlying condition. Addressing the primary medical issue is crucial for improving the breathing pattern and overall health.
It's important to note that while Cheyne-Stokes respiration can be a concerning sign of an underlying health problem, its presence alone does not provide a specific diagnosis. Healthcare professionals will conduct a thorough evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and often additional tests like imaging and blood work, to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

[@amberblyledge7859]

For some reason, Irregular breathing and heartbeats disturb me greatly.

[@stephbuckner2182]

I agree.

[@XtremeBordom]

Agreed. I think it's a deep psychological thing that is engrained in humans for us to know signs of danger. Kind of like how seeing the colour red (like blood) is synonymous with danger or stop. It evokes a sympathetic response (fight or flight) which keeps us aware of any signs of danger. To see another person breathing agonally makes us aware that something is not right and is causing this person to not breath right, so we should know about it to prevent the same thing from happening to us.
That's my opinion!

[@dylansaus]

@@XtremeBordom Right. We know there is a way of breathing which "ought" to be and ones which "ought not" to be.

[@StarOnTheWater]

We are extremely social beings. Our nervous system is not confined to one organism , so to speak. It's natural to be disturbed.

[@shaolintemple6886]

Oh my gosh this is the best I wonder why other breathing videos don't have examples like this?..Now i know im the Bradypnea.. And it makes so much sense because I did gain around 12 pounds in a month and a half.. Also I do drink but only like three glass of wine a week, but still it's definitely from the rapid weight gain im 5foot 8 270lbs from 258 in Dec 20,2023..
