Kussmaul breathing
Kussmaul breathing is the very deep and labored breathing with normal or reduced frequency, found among people with severe acidosis; it is a form of hyperventilation. Kussmaul breathing is named for Adolph Kussmaul, the 19th century German doctor who first noted it among patients with advanced diabetes (usually type I). He published his finding in a classic 1874 paper.
