Claim

Oxygen toxicity and hyperventilation create a systemic deficiency of carbon dioxide




Arguments

If it is true that...

Breathing too much oxygen displaces too much carbon dioxide, provoking an increase in lactic acid

Then it must be true that...

Oxygen toxicity and hyperventilation create a systemic deficiency of carbon dioxide


Consequences

If it is true that...

Oxygen toxicity and hyperventilation create a systemic deficiency of carbon dioxide

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
