Apnea is the temporary cessation of breathing, which can be obstructive, central, or mixed in origin, and is a critical finding requiring immediate nursing intervention. Nurses monitoring post-operative patients, those receiving opioids, or neonates must be vigilant for apneic episodes, as prolonged apnea leads to hypoxemia, bradycardia, and potentially cardiac arrest. Interventions include stimulating the patient, repositioning the airway, initiating bag-valve-mask ventilation if needed, and notifying the provider to address the underlying cause.
