A medical instrument that records or measures breathing patterns and respiratory pauses, graphically displaying them for analysis.
From anapnea (absence of breathing) and '-graph' (to write or record). Created in 20th-century medical instrumentation to monitor respiratory function.
An anapnograph is basically a lie detector for your lungs—it writes down exactly when and how long you stop breathing, which is crucial for diagnosing sleep apnea.
