Why do people stop breathing during cardiac arrest?
Because cardiac arrest means heart is not beating, which means brain is not getting blood. It is the brain that signals body to breath, however the brain needs blood and will die without it. However, there are some cases of cardiac arrest where person will have whats called agonal respirations. This is where they are gasping for air, this type of breathing is abnormal and inadequate to sustain life and is a sign of near death. Even though a person may be in cardiac arrest the brainstem is still functioning enough to realize the body doesn't have enough oxygen and is signalling body to breath. This is actually a good sign during a cardiac arrest because patients with agonal breathing have higher resuscitation rates.
