Après une hyperventilation, la quantité de CO2 dans le sang est très faible (proche de celle de l'air 0,03%). Il est donc possible de consommer tout l'oxygène avant d'atteindre le seuil de déclenchement du réflexe respiratoire : il y a donc syncope anoxique (par manque d'Oxygène). 3, record 4, French, - rendez%2Dvous%20syncopal

[...] lorsque le plongeur remonte, il passe d'un milieu où règne une pression égale à trois ou quatre fois la pression atmosphérique à une pression voisine d'une atmosphère, juste sous la surface. Le rythme de l'afflux sanguin s'effondre alors. Ainsi, nombre de syncopes mortelles ont lieu à la remontée. Les spécialistes parlent même du "rendez-vous syncopal des neuf mètres". 6, record 4, French, - rendez%2Dvous%20syncopal
