The Importance of Oxygenation and Ventilation

There's this inherent thought that the oxygen level is low. That's probably causing the kid to work to breathe. But what we're going to impact further in this talk is that it might not be the case. So first, let's talk about oxygen. Why do we need a lot of pressure to get oxygen in there? And I think about bulk flow for CO2. We're seeing that in the equations as well. It's showing them the equations. You need a ton of pressure toget oxygen in there, and CO2 seems to diffuse freely. The point is that you need a tonof partial pressure to even drive any oxygen into your capillaries. If you were to
