Respiration in neonates is very irregular, prone to periodic breathing and apnea.
2.
Cheyne Stokes respiration and periodic breathing are the two regions on a spectrum of severity of oscillatory tidal volume.
3.
"' Periodic breathing "'is a normal variation of breathing found in premature and full term infants.
4.
Studies have shown that 78 % of healthy full-term infants experience episodes of periodic breathing in the first two weeks of life, which typically resolves in the first six months of life.
5.
""'qDEEL quantitative difference of end expiratory lung volume " "'is a change in the level of end expiratory lung volume and may be elevated in Cheyne-Stokes respiration and periodic breathing.
6.
The distinction lies in what is observed at the trough of ventilation : Cheyne Stokes respiration involves apnea ( since apnea is a prominent feature in their original description ) while periodic breathing involves hypopnea ( abnormally small but not absent breaths ).
