Do it for the chillrens. Hep the chillrens. Chillrens need to breathe. Hep the chillrens.
I know, I know. Conservatives don't care about children once they are out of the uterus. Just come right out and say it. You'll feel better
How much CO2 is the threshold for the children about whom you are concerned?
If there is no CO2 in the body, we die. This is pretty plain and simple.
Carbon Dioxide in Blood
Low Carbon Dioxide in Blood (Hypocapnia)Hypocapnia refers to the condition of reduced CO2 levels in the bloodstream and is the opposite condition of hypercapnia. This condition is sometimes aroused by the treatment of medical emergencies, such as hyperkalemia, high blood pressure (hypertension), etc. On the other hand, hypocapnia can also be self induced, by hyperventilation. The state of breathing faster and deeper than necessary is termed as hyperventilation. This over-breathing results in light-headedness and several other undesirable symptoms, that are associated with panic attacks.Hyperventilation reduces the CO2 concentration level in the bloodstream, below the normal 40 mm of Hg, thereby resulting in an increased level of pH value. Since CO2 increases the acidity in the blood, a low CO2 level leads to increased alkalinity in the blood. This, in turn, leads to the constriction of blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. Moreover, transport of essential electrolytes for the functioning of the nervous system is also reduced. Low level of CO2 in the bloodstream, can cause cerebral vasoconstriction, thereby resulting in cerebral hypoxia. The symptoms and signs of this are:Visual disturbances.Anxiety.Transient dizziness in the person.Muscle cramps.Blackouts.Most of the CO2 content in the body is in the form of bicarbonate. Thus, when laboratory tests are conducted to check the CO2 level in the blood, it is actually measuring the blood bicarbonate level. The level of carbon dioxide in blood has to be around 40 mm of Hg, for the proper functioning of the body. Deviations in the amount of carbon dioxide in blood can lead to dizziness, respiratory and cardiac arrest and even death.
