Some applications and benefits of carbogen.

Indication	Description	Authors
Support in Radiotherapy	Incorporating CO₂ into the gas mixture may enhance blood oxygenation, potentially increasing the sensitivity of cancer cells to radiotherapy. It is suggested that this rise in tissue oxygenation boosts the effectiveness of radiation therapy for specific cancer types	Leavitt et al. (2024)
Treatment of Vascular Disorders	Carbogen is used to treat certain blood circulation conditions, including vascular disorders of the retina. Enhanced oxygenation promotes vascular health and minimizes tissue damage	Shariffi et al. (2023)
Respiratory Function	The carbogen mixture is utilized in physiological studies to evaluate the respiratory system’s reaction to CO₂ level fluctuations. This assists in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions that impact breathing	Krasniqi et al. (2020); Holick (2022)
Brain Imaging Studies	In neuroscience, carbogen is utilized to enhance cerebral oxygenation and improve the quality of images obtained	Naik et al. (2023)
