Kussmaul Breathing
Deep, rapid and labored breathing is medically known as Kussmaul breathing. The abnormal breathing behavior may result from several medical conditions, including a serious condition of diabetes called diabetic ketoacidosis. It's also a symptom of uremia.
Individuals with Kussmaul breathing may appear to be in a panicked state as they gasp for breath. If the person's breathing condition is due to uremia, they are likely to require dialysis to reduce the build-up of excess toxins before they experienced any relief from Kussmaul breathing.
