Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of hyperventilation on blood pH.

Introduction:

Hyperventilation is the phenomena when s person suddenly starts breathing very fast. Hyperventilation causes the imbalance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood by exhaling more CO2 in comparison to inhaled CO2, which in turn, disturb healthy breathing of a person. This further leads to a medical condition called hypocapnia, a reduced concentration of carbon dioxide is dissolved in the blood.
