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.

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 ...

A Quick Reference on Respiratory Alkalosis

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2017
Respiratory alkalosis, or primary hypocapnia, occurs when alveolar ventilation exceeds that required to eliminate the carbon dioxide produced by tissues. Concurrent decreases in Paco2, increases in pH, and compensatory decreases in blood HCO3- levels are associated with respiratory alkalosis.

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.
