  • 22 In current practice, hypercapnia is tolerated as the lesser of two evils so as to realize the benefits of lower tidal volumes. (mhmedical.com)
  • When compared with assuming no change in CMRO 2 , this approach resulted in significantly lower M -values in both visual and motor cortices, arising from significant dose-dependent hypercapnia reductions in basal CMRO 2 of 1.5 ± 0.6%/mmHg (visual) and 1.8 ± 0.7%/mmHg (motor), where mmHg is the unit change in end-tidal CO 2 level.

  • The effects of hypercapnia and hypocapnia on the activities of the cardiac and pulmonary vagal single fibers were examined in the decerebrated, unanesthetized, paralyzed, and vagotomized cats. (ntnu.edu.tw)

  • The activities of the 3 pulmonary vagal units tested with hypocapnia decreased significantly. (ntnu.edu.tw)
  • In fact hypocapnia reduces the oxygen levels available to the brain due to the elevated affinity of oxygen to hemoglobin (Bohr effect) hence highly increasing the chances of blackout. (wikipedia.org)
  • We concluded that carbon dioxide and hypoxia act synergistically in their control of CBF so that the delivery of oxygen to the brain is enhanced during hypoxic hypercapnia and, although reduced during normoxic hypocapnia, can be restored to normal levels with progressive hypoxia. (github.io)
