Talk:Kussmaul breathing

Liver enlargement

"..presence or absence of.." is a tautology. Please clarify. Jimmy Hers (talk) 18:55, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Pregnancy

I've read that pregnant women show Kussmaul breathing, but this article does not explain why (or even mention it). —anon

Pregnancy is not the cause..may be some other underlying cause Kapilgarg81 (talk) 05:48, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Opposite

What is the opposite of Kussmaul breathing, i.e. short, shallow, slow breaths (as opposed to shallow but fast breathing, which is a third condition)? All three conditions (are there more?) should link to each other in "See also" sections so that readers can navigate easily between the articles and compare/contrast the conditions. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 21:33, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Anecdotal reply: I have an occasional breathing pattern (happening now and the reason why I'm reading these articles on respiration) in which my breaths become short, shallow and slow for a while. This leads to a need for a sudden deep breath (presumably due to an excess of CO2 in the blood) which is followed by apnoea for several seconds after which the shallow breathing restarts. This occurs without consciousness. Bringing attention to my breath and trying to breath "properly" doesn't seem to help much or for long. From reading the Cheyne-Stokes respiration article, it sounds somewhat similar to that pattern but ten minutes of reading does not an expert make so I make no claim of a diagnosis. What I'm suggesting, however, is that short, shallow, slow breathing could not be maintained unless it's entirely adequate (presumably the body would be very much at rest), thus it's likely to be part of a larger pattern. 79.79.248.65 (talk) 13:00, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
