interesting PAAD Myron, improving CO2 tolerance is a well known technique used by athletes to improve performance and oxygen delivery. I was taught this by a cycling coach who taught me to use intermittent breath holds to get comfortable with the discomfort of higher CO2 levels.

Dr. Yaster, I really enjoy reading this article and your comment on hypoventilation, end-tidal CO2, the sympathetic response from hypercarbia and CO2 response curve. This is what I have been doing for most of my cases and taught the trainees all these years. Thank you!
