    Abstract:
    In an our previous study we studied the influence of O2 therapy administration on the thromboelastographic pattern of patients suffering from chronic obstructive lung disease. We showed that basal hypocoagulability of our patients became normal after O2 administration. In this study we refer the thromboelastographic pattern observed in patients suffering from the same disease before and after hyperventilation. We don't find any changes about total coagulability either in patients or in healthy subjects after hyperventilation. Therefore we suggest that the absence of any changes is due to PCO2 and pH variations that occur at the same time of PO2 modification during hyperventilation; PCO2 and pH variations may influence the haemoglobin oxygen affinity and annul the effect of the increase PO2 on the tissue oxygenation. We suppose that the increase of patients suffering from chronic obstructive lung disease, is due to decreased fibrinolysis or to increased production of prostacycline induced by hyperventilation.
