Abstract
Gasping, observed commonly at the beginning and at the end of life [1]–[5], is a striking phenomenon characterised by fast and forceful inspirations. Gasping is especially prominent in the human newborn. In 1812, Legallois [6] described gasping in a variety of animal species and also in human patients. The Glossary Committee of the International Union of Physiologic Sciences defined a gasp as ‘an abrupt, sudden transient inspiratory effort’.
