Background: The pathogenesis of daytime hypercapnia (PaCO 2 ≥ 45 mm Hg) may be directly linked to the existence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) per se, although only some patients ...

Sufferers have difficulty breathing, which reduces their blood-oxygen levels and can raise carbon dioxide levels (a condition called hypercapnia). The condition regularly recurs, and patients ...

Their development is favored by the presence of infection, with its accompanying bronchospasm, hypoxia and hypercapnia, and by the use of digitalis. Digitalis, however, was an important factor in ...

The patient had evidence of clinically significant respiratory-muscle weakness on presentation — including labored breathing, accessory-muscle use, hypercapnia, and rapidly evolving hypoxemia ...

The following is a summary of "Prospective randomized evaluation of transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring during complex electrophysiological procedures under deep sedation: the TRACES trial," ...

Medically reviewed by Reza Samad, MD There are two types of lung diseases: obstructive lung disease and restrictive lung ...

Over the past two decades, intermittent hypoxic training (IHT), that is, a method where athletes live at or near sea level but train under hypoxic conditions, has gained unprecedented popularity. By ...

This leads to hypercapnia and hypoxemia - both of which occur when there's too much carbon dioxide in the blood - that can ...

Advances in science and technology have allowed researchers to gain a better understanding of the pathophysiology leading to long-term neurologic damage in newborns. Intrapartum events are now ...
