Hyperventilation syndrome

Hyperventilation syndrome is a physical and mental illness. Due to the patient's excessive fatigue and nervousness, the autonomic nerve was stimulated and the breathing rate was accelerated. This makes both the inhaled oxygen and exhaled carbon dioxide increase, but the oxygen carried in the blood is saturated, so too much oxygen cannot be exchanged into the blood, which is equivalent to the excessive discharge of CO2. CO2 is the raw material of H2CO3 in the blood, so the reduction of H2CO3 in the blood disrupts the blood acid-base balance and triggers respiratory alkalosis. Failure to improve may cause organ failure.
