What is the best treatment to resolve hypercapnia?

Breathing Machines

If you are struggling with moderate or severe hypercapnia, your doctor may recommend a device to help you breathe. Often, the first type of device they will try is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) device.
 
@grantctobin I carry a surface supplied air hose with me all the time- solves all the problems
 
(i.e + 45 Litres per/min SAC) and for how long, Sorry AUKUS cousins I don't know how to put that into imperial for you, but if you give me a sub I'll learn :)
Only 1 country in AUKUS is using imperial :) (for volume)
