Central neurogenic hyperventilation
-
-
A breathing pattern characterized by a period of apnea lasting 10-60 seconds followed by gradually increasing depth and frequency.
Cheyne-Stokes
-
Rapid, deep respirations caused by severe metabolic and CNS problems.
Kussmaul's
-
Hyperventilation caused by a lesion in the CNS often characterized by rapid, deep, noisy respirations.
Central neurogenic hyperventilation
-
Poor respirations due to CNS damage causing ineffective thoracic muscular coordination.
Ataxic respirations
-
Breathing characterized by prolonged inspiration unrelieved by expiration attempts. This is seen in patients with damage to the upper part of the pons.
Apneustic respirations
-
Contains two hemispheres, governs all sensory and motor actions. Seat of intelligence, learning, analysis, memory and language.
Cerebrum
-
Also called the innerbrain. Consists of the thalamus, hypothalamus and the limbic system. Responsible for temp regulation, sleep, water balance, stress response and emotions.
Diencephalon
-
Responsible for motor coordination and is the major region controlling eye movement.
Mesencephalon or midbrain
-
Between the midbrain and the medulla oblongata. Contains connections between the brain and the spinal chord.
Pons
-
Marks the division between the spinal chord and the brain. Controls respiration, cardiac activity, and vasomotor activity.
Medulla oblongata
-
Related to the brainstem and higher centers. Coordinates fine motor movement, posture, equilibrium and muscle tone.
Cerebellum
-
Inferior MI. Which leads and artery.
II, III, aVF. Right coronary artery
-
Septal MI which leads, artery
V1, V2 Left anterior descending artery
-
Anterior MI which leads, artery
V3, V4 Left anterior descending coronary artery
-
Lateral MI -- Which leads and artery
- I, aVL, V5, V6
- Left circumflex artery
-
