Hypercapnia, also known as hypercarbia, is a medical condition characterized by an elevated level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the bloodstream. It often results from inadequate respiration, which can occur due to various factors such as respiratory diseases, sedation, or neuromuscular disorders. Symptoms may include confusion, headache, dizziness, and shortness of breath. If left untreated, severe hypercapnia can lead to respiratory failure and other serious complications.
