Hypocapnia (CO2 deficit), as a consequence of overbreathing behavior, is measured with a capnograph (or capnometer), an instrument used to measure average alveolar PCO2.
In a lung-healthy and cardiovascular-healthy person the alveolar PCO2 is equivalent to PaCO2. Generally, PaCO2 levels below 35 mmHg constitute hypocapnia (CO2 deficit): 30-35 mmHg is mild to moderate, 25-30 mmHg is serious, and 20-25 mmHg is severe hypocapnia. These instruments are used worldwide in emergency medicine, in critical care, and during surgery for gas monitoring and regulation purposes; these are medical applications.
Conscious Breathworks uses Capnometer Assisted Respiratory Education (CARE} for evaluating, observing, and self-regulating overbreathing behavior.

breathing habits and more importantly how to change them.
