Carbon Dioxide (Bicarbonate) Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gaseous waste product from metabolism. The blood carries carbon dioxide to your lungs, where it is exhaled. More than 90% of it in your blood exists in the form of bicarbonate (HCO3). The rest of it is either dissolved carbon dioxide gas (CO2) or carbonic acid (H2CO3). Your kidneys and lungs balance the levels of carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, and carbonic acid in the blood. This test measures the level of bicarbonate in a sample of blood from a vein. Bicarbonate is a chemical that acts as a buffer. It keeps the pH of blood from becoming too acidic or too basic.

This is caused by a type of bacteria, known as Staphylococcus aureus or staph, which lives on the surface of the skin.Bacteria are able to penetrate the follicles if there is a tiny cut in the skin and they can then cause an infection. boil is a skin condition which occurs due to a build-up of dead tissue and pus in a specific area under the skin. In most cases boils are brought on by inflammation of the hair follicles.
