When does hypercapnia occur?

Hypercapnia occurs when there is an excessive buildup of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream, usually due to respiratory conditions that impair the body's ability to expel CO2, such as asthma, emphysema, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In severe cases, hypercapnia can lead to symptoms like confusion, drowsiness, or even respiratory failure.


How do hypercapnia stimulate ventilation?

Hypercapnia, increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood, stimulates ventilation by acting as a powerful stimulus to breathe. Chemoreceptors in the brainstem sense the high carbon dioxide levels and signal the respiratory muscles to increase ventilation rate and depth. This helps to remove excess carbon dioxide from the body and restore normal levels of blood gases.
