Apnea is generally caused by the dysfunction of the respiratory centers in the medulla and pons (5), and several studies have speculated the mechanism of PHA to be as follows: PHA occurs when the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) is reduced to the threshold of spontaneous breathing (6); ...
Why does apnea occur after deep breathing?
With the onset of apnea, low pressure develops in the airspace of the lungs because more oxygen is absorbed than CO2 is released. With the airways closed or obstructed, this will lead to a gradual collapse of the lungs.
What is Post hyperventilation apnea?
We have experienced several patients with HVS who had post-hyperventilation apnea(PHA). PHA is apnea that follows hyperventilation due to HVS or another cause. In most cases, the patient spontaneously recovered from PHA within one minute without any clinical problems.
