I believe you're confusing CO with CO2.
I think someone once told me that when an asthmatic is starting to crash, the wheezes stop (because they cannot generate enough force to get air out of their lungs) and their O2 sat may still be 100% (for some reason, which I forgot??)
Yeah I confuse the two a lot

I doubt their sats will still be 100% at this point; if they are, it will be very short-lived.
If you have an asthmatic with a severe exacerbation and their pulse ox is 100%. Why might that be?
If the point of respiration /ventilation is to boost the oxygen content of the RBC's and offgas CO2 and some other random stuff, why do I keep hearing this disconnect between effective ventilation and oxygenation? Not arguing it, I have sort of supported it her and in an earlier thread, but spell it out for those of us who didn't take the modern pathophysiology (i.e., evil spirits don't after all cause stuff to happen).
