35-45 mm Hg --- The normal PaCO2 (arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood) is 40mmHg. There is a normal range, which is 35-45mmHg. For those with COPD 60 or below is good.
No, it is higher or the CO2 would not move out of the lungs.
pco2
Pulmonary artery/Systemic veins PCO2 = 45 PO2 = 40 Pulmonary vein/Systemic arteries PCO2 = 40 PO2 = 100
constrict
Teflon is used for the membrane of pco2 electrodes as it allows for the diffusion of co2 but not ions.
