concept map help!!

first you need to decide how and why why your patient is hypoventilating.

hypoventilation

the respiratory system serves a dual purpose: delivering oxygen to the pulmonary capillary bed from the environment and eliminating carbon dioxide from the blood stream by removing it from the pulmonary capillary bed. metabolic production of carbon dioxide occurs rapidly. thus, a failure of ventilation promptly increases the levels of carbon dioxide measured by arterial blood gas analysis (paco₂) greater than 45 mmhg. medscape: medscape access

hypoventilation syndromes

alveolar hypoventilation is defined as insufficient ventilation leading to an increase in paco₂ (ie, hypercapnia).

hypoventilation (also known as respiratory depression) occurs when ventilation is inadequate(hypo means "below") to perform needed gas exchange. by definition it causes an increased concentration of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) and respiratory acidosis.

medscape: medscape access hypoventilation syndromes treatment & management

breathing too slow or with period of apnea (as in sleep apnea) caused the co2 levels to rise and cause a decreased loc leading to a condition called co2 narcosis.hypoventilation treatment | hypoventilation syndrome

all medscape requires registration but it is free and holds a ton of information.

i hope this helps.
