Cheyne-Stokes respirations A breathing pattern characterized by a period of apnea lasting
10-60 seconds followed by gradually increasing depth and frequency of respirations.
Kussmaul's respirations Rapid deep breathing caused by severe metabolic and CNS
problems
Central Neurogenic hyperventilation Hyperventilation caused by a lesion in the CNS,
often characterized by a rapid, deep, noisy respirations
Ataxic respirations Poor respirations from CNS damage causing ineffective thoracic
coordination
Apneustic respirations Breathing characterized by a prolonged inspiration unrelieved by
expiration attempts, seen in patients with damage in the upper pons
Decorticate posture Characteristic posture associated with a lesion at or above the upper
brainstem. The patient presents with arms flexed, fists clenched, and legs extended.
