Research Abstract |
The relationship between cardiac failure and respiratory disorder was examined during carbon dioxide(CO2) exposure in the experimental animals. Respiratory pause seemed to lead the cardiac ventricular arrhythmias and take a major role in the death of CO2 poisoning. The relevant drugs to cardiac failure or respiratory dysfunction were also examined in this model in order to elucidate the pathophysiologic mechanism of acute CO2 poisoning.
