Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis

Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis PPT Summary

1. Respiratory acidosis is primarily caused by reduced ventilation, leading to increased CO2 and potential neurological effects.
2. Chronic respiratory acidosis compensates renal mechanisms, maintaining blood pH near normal despite high PaCO2 levels.
3. In contrast, respiratory alkalosis results from hyperventilation, often causing symptoms such as paresthesia and confusion.
4. Management of both conditions requires careful assessment of underlying causes and physiological parameters to avoid acute corrections that may lead to serious complications.
5. Clinical evaluation is essential, including arterial blood gas analysis to determine PaCO2 and blood pH, which guide appropriate therapeutic interventions.
