Cheyne-Stokes respiration is a pattern often initially observed in lowlanders who ascend to high altitudes. This pattern is characterized by cyclic breathing, where the depth of breathing increases, then decreases, and is followed by a period of apnea. This occurs as the body attempts to adjust to the lower oxygen levels at high altitudes.
