In contrast to arterial hypoxia, which may result from five different pathophysiologic derangements, arterial hypercapnia can always be interpreted as signifying alveolar hypoventilation. This is true because arterial PCO2(PaCO2) is governed by the relationship between CO2 production and alveolar ventilation. 1, record 2, English, - arterial%20PCO2
