What is Biots respiration?
What is Biots respiration?
Biot’s respiration is an abnormal pattern of breathing characterized by groups of regular deep inspirations followed by regular or irregular periods of apnea. It is named for Camille Biot, who characterized it in 1876.
What is the difference between Cheyne-Stokes and Biot’s respirations?
Also known as Biot’s respirations, cluster breathing is characterized by groups, or clusters, of rapid, shallow breathing. This is followed by periods of apnea. It differs from Cheyne-Stokes respiration in that it does not feature cycles of deep breathing, or gradual alternations in breathing patterns.
Which condition causes Biot’s respirations?
Biot respiratory pattern is characterized by regular deep respirations interspersed with periods of apnea. It is caused by damage to the pons due to stroke, trauma, or uncal herniation. As the insult to the pons progresses, the pattern becomes irregular. At this point, the pattern deteriorates to ataxic breathing.
What is a Kussmaul respiration?
Kussmaul breathing is characterized by a deep, rapid breathing pattern. It is typically an indication that the body or organs have become too acidic. In an attempt to expel carbon dioxide, which is an acidic compound in blood, the body starts to breathe faster and deeper.
What does Cheyne-Stokes look like?
Cheyne Stokes breathing is a type of abnormal breathing. It’s characterized by a gradual increase in breathing, and then a decrease. This pattern is followed by a period of apnea where breathing temporarily stops. The cycle then repeats itself.

Why is Kussmaul breathing bad?
Kussmaul breathing is a type of hyperventilation that is the lung’s emergency response to acidosis. Kussmaul breathing causes a labored, deeper breathing rate. It is most commonly associated with conditions that cause metabolic acidosis, particularly diabetes.
What kind of breathing pattern is Biot’s respiration?
Biot’s respiration, as described by French physician Camille Biot, is a highly irregular and non-cyclical breathing ‘pattern’ that is characterized by unpredictable variability in the depth and rate of breathing that is interspersed with random periods of apnea. Biot’s respiration can be seen in cases of damage to the brain stem.
What is the difference between apnea and Biot’s?
Apnea is the absence of spontaneous breathing. Biot’s respiration is a highly irregular and non-cyclical breathing ‘pattern’ that is characterized by unpredictable variability in the depth and rate of breathing that is interspersed with random periods of apnea.
What’s the difference between biots and Cheyne breathing?
Biots’ Breathing is irregular respirations with irregular periods of apnea. There is no cyclic nature to them as in Cheyne-Stokes breathing. Breaths are generally of equal depth (also distinguishing them from Cheyne-Stokes).
Can a brain stem injury cause Biot’s respiration?
Biot’s respiration can be seen in cases of damage to the brain stem. We learned about three types of breathing patterns in this lesson.
