Apneic Threshold

Home Apneic Threshold
The amount of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the blood is an essential stimulus for maintaining respiration. Spontaneous respiration stops below a certain level of carbon dioxide. This value is called the apneic threshold. However, this value is not a fixed value in humans but varies in sleep and wakefulness. Apneic threshold values in REM sleep and NREM sleep also differ.
