When I was a ski-bum at Aspen, the conventional wisdom in the ski
patrol was that the turkeys (paying customers) breathed too much, or
too often, or too deeply. They claimed that the most important part of
their kit was a paper bag. You gave it to the immobilized turkey and
made him breath into it for a time, thus getting more carbon dioxide
into his lungs.

Of course skiers are exercising, so perhaps more like to over-breathe
than under-breathe.
