Question
A 2yr male child has episodes of hypercarbia range of pco2 120 to 130 -is ventilated - lungs not that bad does not breathe adequately and cns good if co2 falls if it rises drowsy. Lungs seem grossly ok . How do we make him breathe better of his own ? does cchs behave like this ? if so what do we do to help him - chronic ventilation is something they cannot afford
Answer
A chronic lung disease with hypercarbia and the child not breathing adequately would need ventilation. However one may give ventilation that is enough to maintain permissible hypercarbia.
