When a loved one is nearing the end of life, changes in breathing patterns can be one of the most noticeable and concerning signs for family members. Understanding these changes can help you provide better comfort and know what to expect during this difficult time.
In this video, we discuss common breathing patterns that occur before death, including:
Cheyne-Stokes breathing - a cycle of deep breaths followed by shallow breathing and pauses
Apnea episodes - temporary pauses in breathing that may last 10-30 seconds
Irregular breathing rhythms that become less predictable
Congestion or "death rattle" caused by fluid accumulation
Decreased respiratory rate and shallow breathing
We also cover what caregivers and family members can do to provide comfort, when to contact hospice or medical professionals, and how to emotionally prepare for these natural changes.
This content is meant to educate and support those caring for dying loved ones. It's created with compassion and respect for this sacred time.
