  • Title: Cheyne stokes respiration in stroke patients.
    Author: Hardavella G, Stefanache F, Ianovici N.
    Journal: Rev Med Chir Soc Med Nat Iasi; 2006; 110(1):82-7. PubMed ID: 19292084.
    Abstract:
    Cerebral-vascular events represent a major cause of mortality worldwide. Resulting respiratory complications are common and possibly composing a marker of severe neurological disorder. Cheyne-Stokes respiration is a disorder characterised by recurrent central apnoeas during sleep, alternating with a crescendo-decrescendo pattern of tidal volume, thus constituting an additional burden to the patient. In this paper the authors review the physio-pathological background, clinical presence and latest therapy-related data on Cheyne Stokes respiration in stroke patients.
