I spoke with my husband who is a Doctor and we both agreed that monitoring your patient at this time would be prudent as they are most likely going into respiratory acidosis. The 60% is not quite a critical value but worthy of monitoring as it could be related to respiration rate and other factors. He would need more information but with what your provided, keep monitoring, run labs, especially PH levels and look at the whole patient to determine why this is occurring and how you can best help the patient.

How do I convert 10 percent CO2 to parts per million CO2?

To convert 10% CO2 to parts per million (ppm) CO2, you need to multiply by 10,000. Therefore, 10% CO2 is equivalent to 100,000 ppm CO2.

Why use 5 percent CO2 in tissue culture?

The addition of 5% CO2 in tissue culture creates a more physiologically relevant environment for cell culture by maintaining the pH of the culture medium and promoting cell growth. This level of CO2 represents a balance between providing enough CO2 for cellular respiration and avoiding excessive acidification of the medium.
