Abstract:
Hyperventilation syndrome(HVS)in children is a common functional respiratory disorder with a group of symptoms mainly characterized by hyperventilation, which is usually triggered by anxiety or stress events.A standardized questionnaire and the hyperventilation provocation test are helpful for diagnosis.Currently, the Nijmegen questionnaire is a common clinical tool to quantify and assess the severity of the symptoms.Emotional and psychological factors are major causes of HVS onset, meanwhile, abnormal breathing patterns are also implicated.Reassurance therapy and breathing retraining can improve the symptoms.
