The options to manage hypercapnic acidosis include modifications to mode of mechanical ventilation to enhance CO2 clearance as well as buffers to normalise pH. In patients where hypercapnic acidosis could not be managed with mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal techniques may be used.

How do you treat a hypercapnia on a ventilator?
Hypercapnia: To modify CO2 content in blood one needs to modify alveolar ventilation. To do this, the tidal volume or the respiratory rate may be tampered with (T low and P Low in APRV). Raising the rate or the tidal volume, as well as increasing T low, will increase ventilation and decrease CO2.
