Kussmaul breathing is a deep and labored breathing pattern often associated with severe metabolic acidosis, particularly diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) but also kidney failure. It is a form of hyperventilation , which is any breathing pattern that reduces carbon dioxide in the blood due to increased rate or depth of respiration.
Kussmaul breathing – very deep and labored breathing with normal, rapid or reduced frequency seen in severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Kussmaul's sign – paradoxical rise in the jugular venous pressure (JVP) on inhalation in constrictive pericarditis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Kussmaul breathing [5] Adolph Kussmaul: endocrinology: metabolic acidosis: laboured deep breathing with normal or reduced frequency Kussmaul's sign: Adolph Kussmaul: cardiology: various, including right side failure: increased jugular distension on inspiration Kveim test: Morten Ansgar Kveim: pulmonary medicine: sarcoidosis
Kussmaul sign suggests impaired filling of the right ventricle due to a poorly compliant myocardium or pericardium. This impaired filling causes the increased blood flow to back up into the venous system, causing the jugular vein distention (JVD) and is seen clinically in the internal jugular veins becoming more readily visible.

Labored breathing is distinguished from shortness of breath or dyspnea, which is the sensation of respiratory distress rather than a physical presentation.. Still, many [2] simply define dyspnea as difficulty in breathing without further specification, which may confuse it with e.g. labored breathing or tachypnea (rapid breathing). [3]
