However, in a critical setting, a patient with a normal pH, a high CO 2, and a high bicarbonate means that, although there is a high carbon dioxide level, there is metabolic compensation. As a result, one must be careful as to not artificially adjust breaths to lower the carbon dioxide.
Looking at your data you might be thinking how you compare to the human average reaction time. Here it is! The average reaction time for humans is 0.25 seconds to a visual stimulus, 0.17 for an audio stimulus, and 0.15 seconds for a touch stimulus.
Results Average reaction time was calculated for room temperature water at 0.319 seconds and during the cold pressor test at 0.303 seconds. A paired t-test with a 95% confidence interval was conducted to determine the effect of the cold pressor test on participantsâ reaction time and a p-value of 0.0307. It was found that reaction time significantly decreased, see Figure 5. Figure 5.
