secondary apnea

0.03 sec.

secondary apnea,

an abnormal condition in which respiration is absent and will not begin again spontaneously. Resuscitation is initiated immediately with artificial ventilation. Blood gases are analyzed, and oxygen, cardiac massage, and medication specific to the underlying cause may be administered. Secondary apnea may result from any event that severely impedes the absorption of oxygen by the bloodstream. Compare primary apnea.
