what is an effect of excessive ventilation?

Excessive ventilation can also cause splinting of the patient's diaphragm, which can make it much more difficult to continue ventilation and also impede the output of the heart. Lastly, excessive ventilation can alter the patient's blood chemistry, potentially resulting in adverse effects on the brain.

In diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the body produces too much mucus, making breathing difficult. In cystic fibrosis, the mucus that is produced is too thick and clogs up the lungs and digestive tract.

An increase in blood flow across the hole to the lungs can cause the lungs to become congested. Congestion of the lungs interferes with their job of transferring oxygen from the air to the blood and carbon dioxide from blood to air.

Several studies showed that blood pressure and lung function are associated. Additionally, a potential effect of antihypertensive medication, especially beta-blockers, on lung function has been discussed.

Effects of Air Pollution High levels of air pollution can cause an increased risk of heart attack, wheezing, coughing, and breathing problems, and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. ... Air pollution causes a number of environmental effects in addition to the effects on humans and animals.

During an asthma attack, also called an asthma exacerbation, the airways become swollen and inflamed. The muscles around the airways contract and the airways produce extra mucus, causing the breathing (bronchial) tubes to narrow. During an attack, you may cough, wheeze and have trouble breathing.

Prolonged significant exposure to carbon monoxide can cause serious complications, including brain damage and heart problems. In very severe cases, it can result in death. Effects of severe carbon monoxide poisoning include: breathlessness.

Contrary to popular myth, hyperventilating air at ordinary pressures never causes oxygen toxicity (the dizziness is due to CO2 levels dropping too low), but breathing oxygen at pressures of 0.5 bar or more (roughly two and a half times normal) for more than 16 hours can lead to irreversible lung damage and, eventually, ...

Prolonged exposure to above-normal oxygen partial pressures, or shorter exposures to very high partial pressures, can cause oxidative damage to cell membranes, collapse of the alveoli in the lungs, retinal detachment, and seizures. Oxygen toxicity is managed by reducing the exposure to increased oxygen levels.

It adds to ambient noise, contributing to noise pollution. The air circulation can transmit infectious respiratory diseases. Airborne dust and fungi can cause allergic reactions. Air conditioning is associated with chronic rhinitis and pharyngitis, throat irritation and hoarseness.

Gases or liquids in the pleura can derange normal processes of lung expansion and thus result in a restrictive pattern of pulmonary function. Consequently, pneumothorax and pleural effusion will result in restrictive disease.

Because of the increased smooth muscle tone during an asthma attack, the airways also tend to close at abnormally high lung volumes, trapping air behind occluded or narrowed small airways.

Hyperinflated lungs occur when air gets trapped in the lungs and causes them to overinflate. Hyperinflated lungs can be caused by blockages in the air passages or by air sacs that are less elastic, which interferes with the expulsion of air from the lungs.

The effects of tobacco smoke on the respiratory system include: irritation of the trachea (windpipe) and larynx (voice box) reduced lung function and breathlessness due to swelling and narrowing of the lung airways and excess mucus in the lung passages.

* Breathing Sulfur Hexafluoride can irritate the nose and throat. ... Higher exposures can cause a build-up of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema), a medical emergency, with severe shortness of breath. * High exposure can cause headache, confusion, dizziness, suffocation, fainting, seizures and coma.
