B. PACO2: ______ _ increased; ____________ decreased; _______ remained the same

C. PCO2: _________ increased; ____________ decreased; _______ remained the same

D. PCCO2: ________ increased; ____________ decreased; _______ remained the same

Introduction:

Upper airway obstruction is a clinical condition characterized by the presence of blockage in the upper airway that includes the trachea, the larynx, or the voice box, and the throat. Blockage in the upper airway prevents the body from getting enough oxygen. Upper airway obstruction leads to the diminishing of pulmonary ventilation.

Please refer to Clinical Application Case-2 for further information.
