Kussmaul breathing
From WikiLectures
Characteristics : pronounced hyperpnea and significantly increased minute ventilation with significant respiratory effort[1].
Kussmaul breathing is a typical manifestation of respiratory compensation of metabolic acidosis . The increased concentration of hydrogen protons stimulates peripheral receptors in the glomus aorticum (via the vagus nerve ) and glomus caroticum (via the glossopharyngeus nerve), which activate the respiratory centers and increase ventilation.[2] It appears, for example, in diabetic ketoacidosis or renal failure[1].
It is named after the German physician Adolph Kussmaul (1822–1902)[3].
