Hypercapnia, also called hypercarbia, is when you have too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in your blood. Your body creates CO2 when your cells make energy. Your red blood cells carry it from your organs and tissues to your lungs, where you breathe it out.

2023年7月3日 · Hypercarbia is defined by an increase in carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. Though there are multiple causes for hypercarbia, the body is usually able to compensate if the respiratory drive and lung function are not compromised. When this compensation is inadequate, respiratory acidosis results.

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3月3日 · Hypercapnia, also known as hypercarbia, is a condition that occurs when a person has too much carbon dioxide (CO 2) in their bloodstream. It can cause dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath.

2024年7月20日 · Hypercapnia causes vasodilation of cerebral arteries, which will tend to increase intracranial pressure. For neurocritically ill patients who already have elevated intracranial pressure, hypercapnia could exacerbate this. Among patients without neurologic disease, this may cause headache.

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...

2024年3月8日 · Hypercapnia is a buildup of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream. It affects people who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If you have COPD, you can't breathe as easily as other...

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. Carbon dioxide is produced naturally in the body during certain cellular processes.

2025年1月17日 · In this article, we’ll dive into the meaning of high CO2 blood levels (also called hypercapnia or hypercarbia), explore why monitoring CO2 matters, and explain how imbalances are managed. We’ll also discuss natural ways to support a healthy acid-base balance in …
