A member asked:

How does hyperpnea affect the amount of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low CO2, alkalemia: Deep or rapid breathing removes more gaseous co2 leading to less co2 in the blood and associated alkalemia - it has a minimal effect on oxygenation except in disease states.
