The physiological changes, together with the hormonal changes make pregnancy a psychological event for the women. Hyperventilation is defined as a condition in which the alveoli are ventilated at a greater extent than is necessary to maintain normal blood oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions it can be the result of an increase in the tidal volume or respiratory rate, or a combination of the two. Today, epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder during pregnancy, after migraine.
The subjects who were selected venous blood sample was collected using digital pH meter
This study has been used to generate data on blood pH and its relation with convulsion in pregnant women of MNR Hospital, Sangareddy which shows that hyperventilation in pregnancy results in CO2 wash out, this change will cause shift of body pH towards alkaline side, decreasing CO2 (hypocapnea) and increasing neuronal excitability in the hippocampus to induce seizures. By controlling hypocapnea it will helpful to various gynaecologist as well as physcians to control antenatal, perinatal and post natal morbidity.
