This diagram shows an overview of the transport of CO2 in blood. Of exceptional importance is the fact that CO2 penetrates the alveolocapillary membrane 20 times more easily than oxygen -> acute respiratory problems usually only show up secondarily (or chronically) through hypercapnia.
With acetazolamide the dissociation of CO2 in blood can be reduced. Sodium bicarbonate is a potent bicarbonate donor
