Kussmaul respiration

Kussmaul respiration

Characteristics : pronounced hyperpnea and significantly increased minute ventilation with significant respiratory effort  .

Kussmaul pattern:


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.  It appears, for example, in diabetic ketoacidosis or renal failure  .

It is named after the German physician Adolph Kussmaul (1822–1902)  .
