Evaluation and Treatment of Respiratory Alkalosis

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2012
Respiratory alkalosis is the most frequent acid-base disturbance encountered in clinical practice. This is particularly true in critically ill patients, for whom the degree of hypocapnia directly correlates with adverse outcomes. Although this acid-base disturbance often is considered benign, evidence suggests that the alkalemia of primary hypocapnia ...

Metformin-Associated Respiratory Alkalosis

American Journal of Therapeutics, 2004
We present an 84-year-old man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, glaucoma, and bladder cancer who presented to the emergency department after the police found him disoriented and confused. Metformin therapy began 3 days before, and he denied any overdose or suicidal ideation.

Respiratory Acidosis and Respiratory Alkalosis: Core Curriculum 2023

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2023
The respiratory system plays an integral part in maintaining acid-base homeostasis. Normal ventilation participates in the maintenance of an open buffer system, allowing for excretion of CO2 produced from the interaction of nonvolatile acids and bicarbonate.

Respiratory Alkalosis in Hepatic Coma

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1956
The electrolyte abnormalities which have been described in hepatic failure include a decrease in plasma sodium, chloride, and carbon dioxide content and an elevation of lactic and pyruvic acid.* Elevation of the blood ammonia has also been reported, and, while there seems to be poor correlation between actual blood levels and symptoms of hepatic coma ...

Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis

DeckerMed Medicine, 2009
Respiratory acid-base disorders are those disturbances in acid-base equilibrium that are expressed by a primary change in CO2 tension (Pco2) and reflect primary changes in the body’s CO2 stores (i.e., carbonic acid). A primary increase in Pco2 (and a primary increase in the body’s CO2 stores) defines respiratory acidosis or primary hypercapnia and is ...
