Definition - What does Hypoventilation mean? Hypoventilation occurs when the body's lungs cannot absorb enough oxygen and carbon dioxide then builds up in the blood stream. Hypoventilation is caused when the amount of air entering, or processed by, the pulmonary alveoli in the lungs is reduced. The condition is usually diagnosed by measuring the patient's arterial blood gases (ABG) to detect high levels of carbon dioxide.
