Breath of Kussmaul

A chart of abnormal breaths is observed.

Kussmaul's breathing is fast, deep, labored breathing of people with ketoacidosis or in diabetic coma. Kussmaul's breathing is named after Adolph Kussmaul, a nineteenth-century German physician who was the first to observe it and describes it in 1874. It is sometimes called "air hunger."

The duration of acceleration periods, the presence or absence of hepatomegaly with Kussmaul respiration offer differential diagnostic clues for hyperglycemia in metabolic errors.
