Hypercapnia/Air Hunger
The state of excessive carbon dioxide in the bloodstream, typically caused by inadequate respiration. Classically known as respiratory distress or air-hunger, it can be experimentally induced by having the subject perform a static apnea or breath-holding task; by training subjects to use a mechanical ventilator or using an experimenter-controlled air-supply device; or by having the subject inhale different mixtures of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
