Obesity hypoventilation syndrome is defined as the combination of obesity ( body mass index above 30 kg / m 2 ), hypoxemia ( falling oxygen levels in blood ) during sleep, and hypercapnia ( increased blood carbon dioxide levels ) during the day, resulting from hypoventilation ( excessively slow or shallow breathing ).

Implicit in such a system are imbedded models of both internal and external environments such that relative value can be assigned to any perceived state-perceived physical threat ( e . g . a snake ) can result in rapid shallow breathing related to fight-flight response, a phylogenetically effective model of interaction with recognizable threats.

Toxic over-exposure starts at 9 % to 12 % concentrations, the heart rate drops further, the victim may have more shallow breathing or stop all together, they do not respond to any outside stimulation and may begin to involuntarily gasp, belch or vomit, which can lead to aspiration if the victim is not turned on his side.

According to Denis Winter ( " Death's Men ", 1978 ), a fatal dose of phosgene eventually led to " shallow breathing and retching, pulse up to 120, an ashen face and the discharge of four pints ( 2 litres ) of yellow liquid from the lungs each hour for the 48 of the drowning spasms ."

I was reading the article and i found this " Formaldehyde is converted to formic acid in the body, leading to a rise in blood acidity ( acidosis ), rapid, shallow breathing, blurred vision or complete blindness, hypothermia, and, in the most severe cases, coma or death . " I think I understand how everything arises except the hypothermia thing.

The Rapid Shallow Breathing Index ( RSBI, the ratio of respiratory frequency to tidal volume ( f / VT ), previously referred to as the " Tobin Index " after Dr . Martin Tobin of Loyola University Medical Center ) is one of the best studied and most commonly used weaning predictors, with no other predictor having been shown to be superior.

It may be diffucult for the rescuer to assess breathing, but it is more likely that this would fail to indicate shallow breathing than a false positive, and as there is little risk of harm from an attempt to administer rescue breathing when it is not needed, there is no reason to not administer AV if there is any suspicion that the casualty in not breathing.

It is often treated as a " sleep disorder " after a sleep study performed, but " sleep studies cannot diagnose shallow breathing ( JR Bach, M . D . ) . " Serious symptoms arise most commonly during sleep; however, because when the body sleeps, the intercostal muscles do not perform the breathing for mechanism, it's done by the diaphragm, which is often impaired in people with NMDs.
