Suggested headers
Are we treating this article as a sign or a medical condition? Really it could be considered as both. The answer to this generally dictates the layout. WP:MEDMOS suggests the following headers for articles about symptoms/signs:


 * Definition
 * Differential diagnosis
 * Pathophysiology
 * Diagnostic approach
 * Treatment
 * Epidemiology
 * History
 * Society and culture
 * Research
 * Other animals

and the following for diseases, disorders or syndromes:


 * Classification
 * Signs and symptoms
 * Causes
 * Pathophysiology
 * Diagnosis
 * Prevention
 * Treatment
 * Prognosis
 * Epidemiology
 * History
 * Society and culture
 * Research directions
 * Other animals Lesion  ( talk ) 11:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Comments
I made the lead much more simple, and moved the more complicated physiologic concepts and definitions into the body of the article. Per WP:LEAD, we should use clear and concise language in the lead. Lesion ( talk ) 11:50, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

The section now called definitions has a professorial, lecturing tone to it. Perhaps it could be worded more encyclopedically... Lesion ( talk ) 11:50, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * This definition section is better now, but upon reading the rest of the article this tone is used throughout. We should try to make it sound more encyclopedic imo. Lesion  ( talk ) 12:55, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

There is a missing word in the section Causes\ventilation, "If the alveolar ventilation is, there..." - could someone with more expertise than myself make an update? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.122.188.71 (talk) 08:33, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Quality of article
The quality of this article is atrocious and has numerous edits that are ridiculous or nonsensical. 99.25.229.228 (talk) 00:15, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
