Apnea has two possible definitions: (1) respiratory pause causing bradycardia (or cyanosis or both) and (2) no breathing for less than 20 seconds. Apnea is usually found in a baby of less than 37 weeks' gestation. Period breathing is described as cycles of short breathing pauses followed by faster breathing.
