Obstructive sleep apnoea is caused by collapse of the upper airway. The presence of CO(2) in the upper airway lumen evokes a number of reflexes which favour upper airway re-opening, and we have proposed previously that CO(2) would build up in the upper airway following airway collapse and that this would contribute to reflex airway re-opening. However, it is not known if CO(2) can transfer from the alveoli to the anatomical dead space of the upper airway during apnoea.
