What (who) is hypoventilation - definition
INSUFFICIENT BREATHING
Respiratory depression; Respiratory depressant; Respiratory deppresive; Respiratory depressive; Decreased effort to breath; Decreased effort to breathe; Alveolar hypoventilation
hypoventilation
¦ noun Medicine breathing at an abnormally slow rate, resulting in an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the blood.
Hypoventilation
Hypoventilation (also known as respiratory depression) occurs when ventilation is inadequate (hypo meaning "below") to perform needed respiratory gas exchange. By definition it causes an increased concentration of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) and respiratory acidosis.
Central hypoventilation syndrome
HUMAN DISEASE
Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome; Primary alveolar hypoventilation; Ondine's Curse; Undine's curse; Undine's Curse; Ondine syndrome; Acquired Central Hypoventilation Syndrome; Alveolar hypoventilation secondary to neurologic disease; Idiopathic acquired central hypoventilation syndrome; Ondine's curse; Acquired central hypoventilation syndrome; Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome
Central hypoventilation syndrome (CHS) is a sleep-related breathing disorder that causes ineffective breathing, apnea, or respiratory arrest during sleep (and during wakefulness in severe cases). CHS can either be congenital (CCHS) or acquired (ACHS) later in life.
Wikipedia
Hypoventilation
Hypoventilation (also known as respiratory depression) occurs when ventilation is inadequate (hypo meaning "below") to perform needed respiratory gas exchange. By definition it causes an increased concentration of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) and respiratory acidosis. Hypoventilation is not synonymous with respiratory arrest, in which breathing ceases entirely and death occurs within minutes due to hypoxia and leads rapidly into complete anoxia, although both are medical emergencies. Hypoventilation can be considered a precursor to hypoxia and its lethality is attributed to hypoxia with carbon dioxide toxicity.
