Carbogen
Carbogen
Carbogen, IPA: /ˈkɑːbədʒɛn/, is a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen gas, typically containing 95% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide. The term "Carbogen" is derived from the words "carbon dioxide" and "oxygen".
Usage
Carbogen is used in medical and research applications. In medicine, it is used to manage hypoxia or anoxia, conditions characterized by an inadequate supply of oxygen in the body or a region of the body. It is also used in radiation therapy to increase the effectiveness of treatment by increasing oxygen levels in the tissues.
In research, Carbogen is used in studies involving metabolism and respiration, as well as in the study of the body's response to high levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Side Effects
While Carbogen is generally safe for use, it can cause side effects such as dizziness, shortness of breath, and headache. These side effects are typically mild and temporary.
