2024年7月20日 · (1) Hypercapnia is defined as PaCO2 >45 mm. Hypercapnia may also be diagnosed from a venous blood gas (more on comparing VBG vs. ABG here). (2) Primary hypercapnia is hypercapnia that isn't a compensatory response to metabolic alkalosis.

Hypercapnia (from the Greek hyper, "above" or "too much" and kapnos, "smoke"), also known as hypercarbia and CO 2 retention, is a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide (CO 2) levels in the blood.

2023年7月24日 · Hypercapnia is the increase in partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) above 45 mm Hg. Carbon dioxide is a metabolic product of the many cellular processes within the body, and there are several physiological mechanisms that …

2024年8月19日 · Hypercapnia describes high carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood above 45 mm Hg. It can happen when there is an overproduction of CO2 or an inability to efficiently clear it from the body. Hypercapnia can be a life-threatening health crisis.

2022年8月30日 · Hypercapnia occurs when the PCO2 in the blood increases above 45 mm Hg. This can happen randomly, such as while sleeping, and may cause mild symptoms you may not notice. Typically, impulses travel to control centers in the brain to correct the gaseous imbalance.

2024年12月23日 · Hypercapnia happens when breathing problems make it difficult to take in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. It is typically due to a disease that affects the lungs. Symptoms can range from...
