I was actually wondering about that. I feel like there must be a difference between hyperventilating and breathing lower-CO2/higher-O2 air, but I'm not sure. Can you point me to any information on this? I Googled the issue and came across [this article][0]:
"The problem in hyperventilation is not 'too much oxygen' - whatever is unabsorbed by the lungs is simply exhaled again. The problem [is the relative] deficit of CO2. Production of CO2 is normally in equilibrium with 02 intake. This equilibrium is important..."
"Hyperventilation is functional as long as muscle use follows closely after; the resulting reserve of oxygen and loss of CO 2 permit a head start if danger should materialize. " [0]: https://respirasbreathing.com/documents/breathing/Hyperventi... |
