What is the pattern of alternating periods of hypopnea or apnea followed by hyperpnea is know as?

Cheyne-Stokes respiration is an abnormal pattern of breathing characterized by breathing becoming shallower until it stops for a while and then breathing starts again and rapidly crescendos to a peak before decaying away again. The pattern repeats, with one cycle typically lasting about 1 minute. It is an oscillation of ventilation between apnea and hyperapnea with a crescendo-decrescendo pattern, and is associated with changing serum partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide.Cheyne-Stokes Respiration

What is Cheyne-Stokes respiration?

It is when apnea alternates with periods of rapid, heavy breathing (hyperapnea).This type of breathing is found in patients who have had heart failure, strokes, and brain injuries or tumors. It can also be a symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning, and can be found in some otherwise healthy patients who have been in high altitudes. Hospice care workers use Cheyne-Stokes respiration as an indication that death is approaching - terminally ill patients have reported that there is no discomfort to this condition (though it can be alarming to onlookers).
