Comments
editI 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 <something>, 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)
