Résumé

Le syndrome d’hyperventilation (SHV) s’intègre dans le cadre des dysfonctions ventilatoires. Le tableau clinique, notamment dans sa forme aiguë ou subaiguë, est souvent trompeur, pouvant simuler une urgence médicale. En partant de cas cliniques, l’article souligne la possibilité d’un diagnostic positif, la nécessité d’un bilan étiologique pour éliminer une pathologie organique justifiant un traitement spécifique et pour aider le kinésithérapeute dans l’adaptation de sa prise en charge, essentielle pour améliorer la qualité de vie des patients.

Abstract

Hyperventilation syndrome is considered as part of respiratory dysfunctions. Acute or subacute clinical presentations are often misleading, being considered as an emergency. Based on case reports, this article presents the positive diagnosis and the etiological assessment in order to eliminate any organic dysfunction that may require specific treatment, and to help the physical therapist adjusting the treatment plan which is essential to improve the patient’s quality of life.
