Couplet Periodic Breathing Response to High Carbon Dioxide and High and Low Oxygen

A breathing pattern is described which is characterized by a grouping of two breaths followed by a prolonged apnea and which may involve a mechanism different from at least one type of Cheyne-Stokes breathing. The pattern can be eliminated by breathing 9 percent O$_{2}$ or 10 percent CO$_{2}$. Howev...

Zusammenfassung:A breathing pattern is described which is characterized by a grouping of two breaths followed by a prolonged apnea and which may involve a mechanism different from at least one type of Cheyne-Stokes breathing. The pattern can be eliminated by breathing 9 percent O$_{2}$ or 10 percent CO$_{2}$. However, the pattern frequently persists during breathing of high oxygen.
