TL;DR
Nine patients who experienced phobic and/or non-phobic panic attacks were given a cognitive-behavioural treatment based on the supposition that catastrophic interpretations of sensations produced by hyperventilation played an important role in their attacks.
Abstract
A case series is reported in which nine patients who experienced phobic and/or nonphobic panic attacks were given a cognitive-behavioural treatment based on the supposition that catastrophic interpretations of sensations produced by hyperventilation played an important role in their attacks. Large and rapid reductions in panic attack frequency and questionnaire report of fear were observed. Patients' resting pCO2 was significantly lower than controls and rose to normal levels during treatment.

1,792 Citations1979I. M. Marks, A Mathews
A one-page self-rating form is described to monitor change in phobia patients, derived from earlier versions used in 1000 phobic club members and 300 phobic patients, which is short, reliable and valid.

Substantial reductions in panic attack frequency and in self-reported fear during a behaviour test were obtained after 2 weeks' treatment and these reductions occurred in the absence of exposure to feared situations.

208 Citations1980H. J. Keselman, Joanne C. Rogan
The present paper demonstrates how the Greenhouse and Geisser (1959) three-step approach to significance testing, a procedure intended to control the probability of a false positive, can be applied to experimental designs containing any number of repeated measures variables.
PsychophysiologyThe Effects of Psychological Stress on Respiration: A Preliminary Study of Anxiety and Hyperventilation
196 Citations1980William M. Suess, A. Barney Alexander +3 more
It is suggested that respiration rate alone is an insufficient measure of respiratory reactivity to psychological stimuli and more appropriate functional assessments of respiratory response to stress are discussed.

An investigation was made into how often the HVS and the agoraphobic syndrome appeared together and into the causal relationship between both syndromes.

95 Citations1962E. J. M. Campbell, J. B. L. Howell
Comparison of the three records during the first stage shows that the cyclical variation in Pco2 had almost disappeared, indicating fairly complete mixing between bag and lungs, and the ratio of the tidal volume of breathing to the volume of the bag is the most important factor.

Self-reported affective and somatic disturbances and heart rate changes resulting from a brief period of voluntary hyperventilation are presented and related to individuals' Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (E.P.Q.) scores.

It is concluded that renal mechanisms contribute significantly and relatively quickly to plasma pH compensation during the early phase of adaptation to hypocapnia in man.

73 Citations1961Benjamin B. Okel
Observations were made regarding subjective symptoms and changes in electrolytes in 4 volunteers who hyperventilated for periods up to 4 hours and longer and the fall of serum inorganic phosphorus concentration was so marked in their cases that the authors felt justified in reemphasizing this observation.

53 Citations1984George Hibbert
It is suggested that subjects who experience panic attacks may have an underlying beta adrenergic supersensitivity, which is an important component of panic attacks but has received no mention in recent reviews.

Results in this experiment led to the conclusion that stress brings about only a mild degree of hyperventilation in normal subjects, and the discrepancy with results found in HSV patients has been discussed.

The possibility and nature of adaptive mechanisms to chronic hyperventilation were investigated and alterations of psychomotor activity in response to hyperventilating were revealed.
