The result is an increased tissue carbon dioxide level, and in some situations there may also be an increase in the inspired carbon dioxide pressure. Causes include the external deadspace of the equipment, inadequate ventilation or failure of the absorbent system. There is a tendency for experienced divers to be less sensitive to elevated carbon dioxide partial pressures. This reduces the total ventilation requirement during working dives. Elevated arterial carbon dioxide levels increase susceptibility to oxygen toxicity, decompression sickness and nitrogen narcosis.
