Whats the toxicity of CO2?
The CO2 has no toxicity even in elevated dosages. It does not increment the arterial pressure, nor variations in the partial pressure of the oxygen or CO2 in the system. To better understand this we have two examples: 1. Our body produces 200 cc of CO2 when resting. That amount can be raised 10 times during exercise, the dosage utilized for the therapeutical treatment are in that range. 2. In the Laparoscopies CO2 is used to distend the abdomen and help introduce the laparoscpy with no problems.
