Pure O2 would be best but, you would have to be able to force it with a ventilator or such.

What are the three differences between the composition of blood in pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
Pulmonary artery 1. No oxygen 2. A lot of carbon dioxide Pulmonary vein 1. Lots of oxygen 2. No carbon dioxide
Why might blood carbon dioxide levels be higher in an individual with pulmonary disease when compared to the carbon dioxide levels of a healthy person?
When you have pulmonary disease, you may fail to give out carbon dioxide. So the percentage of carbon dioxide increase in your blood. That is the indicator of the severity of the pulmonary disease.
What are Oxygen carbon dioxide and pH evaluated with?
Pulmonary function
What circulation brings carbon dioxide-filled blood to the lungs.?
The systemic circulation brings oxygen-filled blood to the body tissues, and returns carbon-dioxide filled blood to the heart. The pulmonary circulation brings carbon-dioxide filled blood to the lungs.
What does the pulmonary capillary do?
The blood cells carry carbon dioxide to the lungs which, through the mechanism of breathing, gaseous exchange takes place with the carbon dioxide leaving the body while someone breathes out. When they breathe in again, the blood cells in the pulmonary capillaries get loaded with oxygen and the new oxygen rich blood goes to the heart to be sent around the body.
What does the pulmonary system do?
Pulmonary system- contains tissues and organs specialized for taking in oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from our bodies and for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Breathing out carbon dioxide is an example of a life process?
an excretion is an example of breathing out Co2
What would happen if you kept on breathing in carbon dioxide?
There is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. You have been breathing it in all your life.
If humans exhale carbon dioxide and mouth to mouth resuscitation is used to force oxygen into a person isn't the rescuer forcing carbon dioxide not oxygen into the lungs of the person not breathing?
Only a proportion of the air exhaled is carbon dioxide there is plenty of Oxygen there to do what is required under normal circumstances. People don't use all of the oxygen they breath in, a % of it is blown right back out of the body again.
What type of process is breathing'?
respitatory, taking oxygen in...and breathing carbon dioxide out. carbon dioxide=Co2 and oxygen = O
