➡️ Gasping
Gasping is a type of labored breathing with sudden, forced inspirations that often indicates shortness of breath or dyspnea. It's an abnormal breathing pattern that can be a symptom of a wide range of underlying medical conditions.
➡️ Breathing Patterns Associated with Gasping
1. Apneustic breathing
2. Agonal breathing
➡️ Apneustic Breathing
Apneustic breathing is an abnormal respiratory pattern characterized by a deep and gasping inspiration with a pause at full inspiration, followed by a brief, partial expiration. This pattern is often seen in patients who’ve experienced severe brain damage to the upper medulla or pons caused by a stroke or trauma. It is also seen in patients with a hypoglycemic coma or those with profound hypoxemia. Apneustic breathing is caused by basilar artery occlusion and usually has a poor prognosis.
➡️ Agonal Breathing
Agonal breathing is an abnormal respiratory pattern characterized by intermittent gasping and labored breathing. It is caused by a preterminal brainstem reflex and eventually progresses to complete apnea. This breathing pattern often occurs during the final breaths before death.
Some of the most common causes of agonal breathing include:
- Cerebral ischemia
- Extreme hypoxemia
- Anoxia
Agonal breathing may also occur during cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock, where labored respirations may persist after the cessation of the patient’s heartbeat. This type of respiration occurs in approximately 40% of cardiac arrest cases that take place outside of the hospital setting. The treatment for agonal breathing is focused on resuscitation and support. Gasping can be frightening and uncomfortable for the person experiencing it. Therefore, identifying the underlying cause and seeking proper medical care is essential in managing this symptom.
