 Hyperventilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hyperventilation also occurs as a consequence of various lung diseases, head injury or stroke (central neurogenic hyperventilation, apneustic respirations, ataxic respiration, Cheyne-Stokes respirations or Biot's respiration), or when the body lacks oxygen (hypoxia), for instance in high altitude or as a result of anaemia.
Lastly, in the case of metabolic acidosis, the body uses hyperventilation to counter the increased acidity of the blood; this is known as Kussmaul breathing.
Stress or anxiety commonly cause hyperventilation; this is known as hyperventilation syndrome.

 Physical Examination: An Interactive Videodisc Series
Describe techniques for inspection during the respiratory examination, including observing the chest, identifying landmarks, counting respirations and describing variations in respiration including expected respirations, bradypnea, tachypnea, apnea, hypernea, hyperventilation, hypoventilation, Kussmaul, Cheyne-Stokes, Biot's dyspnea, orthopnea and retractions.
Identify factors that are important in the interviewing and history-taking part of the physical examination, including the characteristics of the examiner and the patient, the influence of the setting, specific techniques for communication, barriers to communication and the role of cultural diversity in communication.
The programs are designed for the learner who is beginning the study of physical examination as well as for healthcare providers who wish to review these procedures.
