AI synopsis

What people are saying

Discussions generally support the link between CO2 retention and hiccup relief, with several mentions of breathing techniques like slow nasal exhalations and paper bag methods, showing interest in applying these findings practically. Tone varies from supportive to skeptical, reflecting both curiosity and critical evaluation of the publication's implications.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions align with the idea that increasing CO2 levels can help stop hiccups, supporting the publication's premise.

InterestModerate interest

Participants show moderate interest by sharing personal techniques and referencing scientific studies, but some dismiss alternative explanations.

EngagementModerate engagement

People actively discuss methods like breathing exercises and cite research, indicating a fair level of detailed engagement.

ImpactNeutral impact

While some find the ideas potentially practical, the overall influence on broader practices remains limited and uncertain.

Abstract in brief

  • The study explored how retaining carbon monoxide (CO) might help stop persistent hiccups by measuring CO levels during different rebreathing experiments.
  • Results showed that increasing InspCO (inspired CO) to match EtCO (exhaled CO) and reaching around 50 mm Hg is key to interrupting the hiccup reflex.
  • In experiments with volunteers and patients, once CO levels hit approximately 50 mm Hg, hiccups ceased, suggesting CO retention could be an effective treatment approach.]

If you get hiccups, reduce your breathing (nasal breathing, long, relaxed exhale)! This resolves the CO2 deficiency that causes hiccups. Another way to raise your CO2 is the 5-5-20 breathing (5s nasal inhale, 5s hold, 20s pursed lip exhale) & repeat. https://t.co/q883winqew https://t.co/AB8WdE8EH2

健常男性において吃逆はEtCO2も関係するかと思われますが、脳外術後だとどうなんでしょう、、、興味深い https://t.co/JXnaefmTuy https://t.co/4H8YamCHLh

@EARL_med_tw https://t.co/OlGtY6fVLa https://t.co/eZpl5beinG 著者同じ方ですけど、ビニール袋再呼吸法などで血中CO2濃度を上げるのが吃逆を止める1番の方法になりそうですね。

okay but seriously though, most of the tricks for stopping hiccups are just ways to build up CO2 blood levels pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29729130/

In fact, the one paper I found to stop hiccups in adults found that increasing CO2 retention helps - so there appears to be a link. 8/n https://t.co/2zpcOchK4q

脳卒中やパーキンソン病の方で、ひゃっくりが止まらない人がいます！　　　　　　 2018年の報告ですが、自分の吐いた息を吸うと割と止まります❗️ これは、クライアントさんに実戦で確認したけど実際に効きました
