The hyperventilation provocation test (HPT) has been widely used for reproducing symptoms of panics. It is assumed that subjects experience similar symptoms on consecutive occasions of hyperventilation. Fourteen subjects with a history of panics and fourteen without such a history underwent the HPT on two occasions one week apart. In the group of 28 subjects as a whole, there were moderate similarities between the HPTs in both the choice and severity of symptoms reported, even when pre-existing symptoms were controlled statistically. Nevertheless, in the subject-by-subject analysis, many subjects showed no resemblance between the two HPTs in the choice of symptoms. This suggests that many subjects would not show any resemblance between the symptoms experienced in an HPT and those of their latest panic even if hyperventilation occurred in that panic.
过度通气激发试验（HPT）已被广泛用于重现恐慌症状。据推测，受试者在连续的过度通气情况下会经历相似的症状。14名有恐慌病史的受试者和14名无此病史的受试者在相隔一周的时间里进行了两次HPT。在总共28名受试者的群体中，即使在对既往症状进行统计学控制的情况下，两次HPT在报告的症状选择和严重程度方面仍存在适度的相似性。然而，在逐受试者分析中，许多受试者在两次HPT的症状选择上没有相似之处。这表明，即使在最近一次恐慌发作中有过度通气情况，许多受试者在HPT中经历的症状与他们最近一次恐慌发作的症状之间也不会有任何相似之处。
