3 -- During expiration, the carbon dioxide is expelled. If the patient cannot exhale effectively, carbon dioxide can build up. Pleurisy is pain upon inspiration. Pulmonary edema may accumulate as a result of poor inhalation, not exhalation. Poor exhalation does not have an effect on the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells.
