Cardiac arrest:science and practice of resuscitation?

i've read this book at a medical library at the UCONN library at Farmington, CT a few years ago. I came across some information in the region of bradyasystolic rhythms and it mentioned that hypoxia and hybercarbia(high carbon dioxide) frequently cause bradyasystole by directly depressing cardiac pacemaker function and by cause increasing parasympathetic discharge.
do you know how they cause both ?
the textbook be a 1996 edition.


Answers:    well your heart deal with carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange. if your heart (pacemaker) is getting tremendous amounts of carbon dioxide, it would be put into a parasympathetic state. blood become more acidic, functions will become depressed.
