carbon dioxide baths increase cardiac output and reduce vascular resistance
In patients with hypokinetic variant arterial hypertension, carbon dioxide gas baths increased minute volume from 3425.2 ± 198.3 to 3910 ± 179.5 mL/min and cardiac index from 1.84 ± 0.12 to 2.14 ± 0.13 L/min/m², while decreasing total peripheral vascular resistance from 2652 ± 120.3 to 2270 ± 115.3 dyn/sec/cm⁻⁵.
What this means for you
When your heart pumps more blood per minute and your blood vessels relax, circulation improves throughout your whole body. That shift — more output, less resistance — is associated with better oxygen delivery to muscles and organs, which most people notice as improved energy, warmth, and easier physical effort.
