Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in lung perfusion would typically be associated with an increased or normal end-tidal CO2 (not decreased), as more blood flow through the lungs would allow for more CO2 to be exhaled, assuming normal lung function and metabolic production of CO2. Decreased metabolic rate, rapid and very shallow breathing, and decreased CO2 production are all factors that can lead to a decrease in end-tidal CO2.
