nounapnoeae pl
- pluralrareplural of apnoea
Very remarkable, however, is the discovery that the apnoea-lengthening action of a maximal apnoea is already present after 10 sec. With 3 maximal apnoeae, with pauses of only 10 sec. each time, one nevertheless gets breath-holding times of, e.g., 79‒97‒102 sec.
