Histoical Perspective

Sleep disordered breathing was first described by Cheyne in 1818 in a 60 year old obese man with heart failure. In 1854, Stokes described a similar pattern of breathing that eventually culminated in apnea. The term Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) describes a pattern of breathing with a crescendo – decrescendo variation in tidal volume separated by periods of central apnea or hypopnea.
