THE hyperventilation syndrome, as seen in anxious, tense persons, is characterized by paresthesia of the extremities and circumoral area, sensations of lightheadedness and altered consciousness and ...

New research shows that febrile seizures in children may be linked to respiratory alkalosis, indicated by elevated blood pH and low carbon dioxide levels caused by hyperventilation, and independent of ...

Study design: A pilot case control study of the acid-base and electrolyte status in 30 long-term ventilator-dependent (LTVD) and 30 self ventilating persons with tetraplegia. Objectives: To assess the ...

Hyperventilation occurs when you start to breathe very quickly, causing an imbalance between inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide (CO 2). This reduces the amount of CO 2 in the body. Low carbon ...

The body has a set of physiological responses to danger: the pupils dilate, respiration deepens, heart rate and blood pressure rise, muscles tense for action. The gastro-intestinal system reacts also.

New research shows that febrile seizures in children may be linked to respiratory alkalosis, indicated by elevated blood pH and low carbon dioxide levels caused by hyperventilation, and independent of ...

Extract: Maternal respiratory alkalosis from hyperventilation before delivery has been associated with depression and acidosis of some newborn infants. In these in utero studies of 6 primate fetuses, ...

The acid-base composition of plasma during hypocapneic anesthesia in man has been used to construct a 95 per cent significance band defining the acute steady-state response to reduced carbon dioxide ...

This is the solution to a case we presented recently. You may review the case here. The patient had complained of dyspnea, and an abnormal electrolyte panel revealed a decreased bicarbonate level of ...
