The first sentence of the overview must contain the name of the disease.

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Central Nervous System related causes:
- Increased Intracranial Pressure
- Stroke
- Head injury
- CNS infection
- Intracranial hemorrhage
- Pontine tumors
- Anxiety Hyperventilation
- Voluntary Hyperventilation
- Sepsis(Cytokine mediated)
- Chronic Liver disease(Toxin mediated)
- Drugs(Salicylates, progesterone)
- Pain
Hypoxemic causes: Hypoxic stimulation leads to hyperventilation.
Pulmonary Causes:
- Pneumonia
- Asthma
- Pulmonary oedema
- Pulmonary thromboembolism
Extrinsic Causes(deliberate or iatrogenic):
- Excessive minute ventilation during mechanical ventilation
