Carbon dioxide produced in tissues is mostly converted to bicarbonate ions and transported in the bloodstream to the lungs, where it is again converted to carbon dioxide and expelled. Impaired gas diffusion at the alveolar level, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, and shunts all result in accumulation of carbon dioxide. Normally, when the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood rises, respiratory control circuits with feedback mechanisms quickly increase ventilation to increase carbon dioxide emission and maintain normocapnia. Hypercapnia occurs when carbon dioxide retention due to alveolar pathology exceeds its removal by compensatory hyperventilation, when abnormalities in the respiratory control circuit cause hypoventilation, and when pathological changes in the lung tissues and surrounding structures cause alveolar hypoventilation.
