Foster hyperventilation and epilepsy
For the first time his observations on the effect of hyperventilation on epileptics Foerster presented at the 24th C'ezd of the Society of German Physicians in Innsbruck, in October 1924. In his report he pointed out that in epileptics hyperventilation often (of 45 epileptics in 25) causes an immediate seizure, noted the stereotype of the seizure in each epileptic, and the importance of the method of hyperventilation for establishing the diagnosis of epilepsy. Foerster also established the fact that traumatic epilepsy differs from other forms in relation to hyperventilation, and that the method of hyperventilation can be used in doubtful cases to clarify the diagnosis of epilepsy.
