Abstract
This study of Da Costa’s syndrome and hyperventilation-based illness spans 25 years and 3500 patients. With the first 2000, clinical diagnosis was backed by laboratory control—spirometry, blood gases, and end-tidal Pco2; latterly, clinical criteria alone have been used. Measurements rarely enhance the evidence of the experienced eye (Lum, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1987).
