If it is true that...

Breathing pure oxygen lowers the oxygen content of tissues 1 0 2

Then it must be true that...

Carbon dioxide deficiency makes breathing more difficult in pure oxygen, impairs the heart’s ability to work, and increases the resistance of blood vessels, impairing circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues 1 0 2

Supplemental oxygen without carbon dioxide causes vasoconstriction, reducing the tissues' supply of glucose as well as oxygen and damages the retina when combined with too much light 1 0 2 Breathing rarefied air or air with carbon dioxide oxygenates and energizes the tissues 1 0 1 Hyperventilation is similar to being in the presence of too much oxygen 1 0 2 Breathing too much oxygen displaces too much carbon dioxide, provoking an increase in lactic acid 1 0 2 Oxygen toxicity and hyperventilation create a systemic deficiency of carbon dioxide 1 0 2 Carbon dioxide deficiency makes breathing more difficult in pure oxygen, impairs the heart’s ability to work, and increases the resistance of blood vessels, impairing circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues 1 0 2 The loss of carbon dioxide from the lungs in the presence of high oxygen pressure increases the blood’s affinity for oxygen, and restricts its delivery to the tissues 1 0 2 At high altitude, the slight tendency toward carbon dioxide-retention acidosis decreases the blood’s affinity for oxygen, making it more available to the tissues 1 0 2 The lactic acid has to be disposed of, but their ability to extract oxygen is reduced 1 0 2 Edema in the lungs limits oxygen absorption 1 0 2
