Chaseâs new 5% minimum payment: An increase so onerous, it would make a loan sharkâs mother proud. Mar 15th, 2009. Considering that this (February 13, 2009) post that I have found entitled, âChase Raises Minimum Payments on Credit Cards, Adds Fee,â is on a website with the name, The Truth About Credit Cards.com, I see some irony.
Hypercapnia, also known as CO2 retention, hypercapnea, and hypercarbia, is a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide (CO 2) levels in the blood. Carbon dioxide is a gaseous product of the body's metabolism and is normally expelled through the lungs. Hypercapnia normally triggers a reflex which increases breathing and access to oxygen, such as arousal and turning the head during sleep.
It is important to note that not all causes of hypoxia and hypercarbia result in an increase in tidal volume and respiratory rate. Medications such as opiates, which are commonly used in hospitals, depress the respiratory drive and the respiratory response to hypoxia and hypercarbia.
