An individual with emphysema might experience which of the following? Emphysema is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath. In people with emphysema, the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) are damaged. Over time, the inner walls of the air sacs weaken and rupture — creating larger air spaces instead of many small ones. a) Increased arterial PCO2 b) Increased arterial PO2 c) Decreased arterial PCO2 d) Decreased arterial PO2 e) Increased respiratory rate
