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.
The average reaction time is 0.1778 s for male students, 0.1950 s for female students, 0.2033 s male teachers, and 0.1878 s for female teachers (refer to the graph for the rest of the information: median, quartile, etc.).
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.
