Hypothetical schematic for the genesis of post-hypoxic periodic breathing. Note the alternating periods of lower and higher drive caused by fluctuating levels of arterial blood gases that occur during the transition form hypoxia-induced hyperventilation to eupnea. Eupnea returns as blood gases return to eupneic levels. All units are arbitrary.
