Coexisting arterial hypoxemia, acidemia, and high PaCO 2 (i.e., asphyxia) will have what affect on the peripheral chemoreceptors?

Coexisting arterial hypoxemia, acidemia, and high PaCO2 (asphyxia) all stimulate peripheral chemoreceptors. This results in a maximal increased drive to breathe to attempt to correct the imbalance.
