DEAR SIR

WHEN EVER OXYGEN PERCUSSION DECREASES TO OUR BODY AUTOMATICALLY, TISSUE OXYGEN LEVEL WILL DECREASE AND IT WILL LEAD TO ISCHEMIA OF THE CELLS.
BY ONE MORE MECHANISM THE CONCENTRATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE WILL INCREASE AUTOMATICALLY WHICH WILL LEAD TO INCREASED RESPIRATORY RATE AND PULSE RATE WHICH EVEN WORSENS THE CONDITON.
BRAIN CELLS ARE VERY VITAL TO ISCHEMIA THAT IS DEPRIVED OXYGEN LEVELS, ISCHEMIA TO BRAIN CELLS CAUSES ALTERED SENSORIUM WITH STUPOR AND AT THE LAST COMA

SECONDLY NAUSEA AND VOMITING OCCUR WITH PNEUMOCAL PNEUMONIA.
IT MIGHT BE DUE TO
1. INFECTION
2. HIGH RESPIRATORY RATE
3. DECREASED OXYGEN SATURATION RATE.
