Respiration alkalosis

  • Increase TRP
  • Women are more affected
  • Increase PH, decrease CO2, if correction started decreases HCO3

Causes :

  1. Anxiety--- hyperventilation--- washing up Co2.
  2. Hyperventilation
  3. Aspirin--- stimulate respiratory center--- initially respiratory alkalosis--- then metabolic acidosis.
  4. High attitude --- hypoxia--- hyperventilation.
  5. Hypoxia of any cause; due hyperventilation
  6. Pulmonary embolism---closed artery--- decrease ventilation and perfusion
  7. Pregnancy; increased tidal volume with increased RR
  8. Sepsis--- hypo ventilation— ((high anion gap??cc))
  9. Fever

Clinical features:

  1. Decrease blood flow to the cerebrum
  2. Headache
  3. Tetany
  4. Excitation
  5. Convulsions
  6. Parasthesia (due to tetany) decrease ca
  7. Chvosten sign
  8. Trousseau sign
  9. Increase tendon reflexes
  10. Increase TPR : fetal arrhythmia.

Treatment:

  1. Anxiety--- Breath into bag (increase co2 and breath it back.
  2. Hyperventilation——- breath in a container
  3. Aspirin--- dialysis
  4. Increase altitude--- descend and give acetazolamide ( metabolic acidosis)
  5. РЕ——— tissue plasminogen gene activator (AE: bleeding ) + not give in pregnancy (embolectomy).

Respiratory alkalosis

occurs when the lungs blow off excessive CO2.

Causes

  • Hyperventilation (anxiety, mechanical ventilation)
  • Salicylate toxicity stimulates respiratory centers in CNS
  • Hepatic encephalopathy
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Hypoxemia
  • High altitude
  • Sepsis--- initially hypo ventilation— ((high anion gap??cc))
