Cheyne-Stokes respiration is an abnormal breathing pattern which commonly occurs in patients with decompensated congestive heart failure and neurologic diseases, in whom periods of tachypnea and hyperpnea alternate with periods of apnea. In the majority of these patients, the ventilatory patterns may not be recognized, and the clinical features are generally dominated by the underlying disease process. Cheyne-Stokes respiration may, however, have profound effects on the cardiopulmonary system, causing oxygen desaturation, cardiac arrhythmias, and changes in mental status. Treatment of Cheyne-Stokes respiration in congestive heart failure with supplemental oxygen or nasal continuous positive airway pressure, in addition to conventional therapy, may improve the overall cardiac function and perhaps the patient's prognosis.
潮式呼吸是一种异常呼吸模式，常见于失代偿性充血性心力衰竭和神经系统疾病患者，其呼吸急促和呼吸过速期与呼吸暂停期交替出现。在这些患者中的大多数，通气模式可能未被识别，临床特征通常由潜在的疾病过程主导。然而，潮式呼吸可能对心肺系统产生深远影响，导致氧饱和度降低、心律失常和精神状态改变。除传统治疗外，用补充氧气或经鼻持续气道正压通气治疗充血性心力衰竭中的潮式呼吸，可能会改善整体心脏功能，或许还能改善患者的预后。
