Distinguish between acidosis and alkalosis resulting from respiratory and metabolic factors?
If the patient's pH goes down, the patient will become acidotic. Their pH goes down when their CO2 in their blood is increased. If their pH does up, they will become alkadotic. This is caused by the direct relationship between bicarbonate (HCO3) and pH. If their bicarbonate levels rise their pH will rise also. Hope that helps.
What is the role of carbon dioxide in respiration?
Respiratory acidosis results from the lungs' inability to remove the carbon dioxide that the body produces. The excess carbon dioxide in the system causes the blood to become overly acidic, resulting in the condition, respiratory acidosis.
Why raised intracranial pressure in Respiratory acidosis?
Widespread vasodilation results from hypercapnia leading to the warm peripheries and plethora that are also well documented. Cerebral vessels are not spared and this vasodilation also results in cerebral oedema increasing ICP.
Acidosis results in increasing levels of what ion?
hydrogen ion
Is alkalosis the blood condition in which the blood pH is higher than normal?
Yes. Acidosis is when the blood pH is lower than normal. Alkalosis usually results from hyperventilation, whereas acidosis results from asphyxiation.
Acidosis?
DefinitionAcidosis is a condition in which there is excessive acid in the body fluids. It is the opposite of alkalosis (a condition in which there is excessive base in the body fluids).Causes, incidence, and risk factorsThe kidneys and lungs maintain the balance (proper pH level) of chemicals called acids and bases in the body. Acidosis occurs when acid builds up or when bicarbonate (a base) is lost. Acidosis is classified as either respiratory acidosis or metabolic acidosis.Respiratory acidosis develops when there is too much carbon dioxide (an acid) in the body. This type of acidosis is usually caused by a decreased ability to remove carbon dioxide from the body through effective breathing. Other names for respiratory acidosis are hypercapnic acidosis and carbon dioxide acidosis. Causes of respiratory acidosis include:Chest deformities, such as kyphosisChest injuriesChest muscle weaknessChronic lung diseaseOveruse of sedative drugsMetabolic acidosis develops when too much acid is produced or when the kidneys cannot remove enough acid from the body. There are several types of metabolic acidosis:Diabetic acidosis (also called diabetic ketoacidosis and DKA) develops when substances called ketone bodies (which are acidic) build up during uncontrolled diabetes.Hyperchloremic acidosis results from excessive loss of sodium bicarbonate from the body, as can happen with severe diarrhea.Lactic acidosisis a buildup of lactic acid. This can be caused by: AlcoholCancerExercising vigorously for a very long timeLiver failureLow blood sugar (hypoglycemia)Medications such as salicylatesProlonged lack of oxygen from shock, heart failure, or severe anemiaSeizuresOther causes of metabolic acidosis include:Kidney disease(distal renal tubular acidosis and proximal renal tubular acidosis)Poisoning by aspirin, ethylene glycol (found in antifreeze), or methanolSevere dehydrationSymptomsSee: Metabolic acidosis or Respiratory acidosisSigns and testsArterial or venous blood gas analysisSerum electrolytesUrine pHAn arterial blood gas analysis or serum electrolytes test, such as a basic metabolic panel, will confirm that acidosis is present and indicate whether it is metabolic acidosis or respiratory acidosis. Other tests may be needed to determine the cause of the acidosis.TreatmentTreatment depends on the cause. See the specific types of acidosis.Expectations (prognosis)Acidosis can be dangerous if untreated. Many cases respond well to treatment.ComplicationsSee the specific types of acidosis.Calling your health care providerAlthough there are several types of acidosis, all will cause symptoms that require treatment by your health care provider.PreventionPrevention depends on the cause of the acidosis. Normally, people with healthy kidneys and lungs do not experience significant acidosis.ReferencesSeifter JL. Acid-base disorders. In: Goldman L, Ausiello D, eds. Cecil Medicine. 23rd ed.

Which congenital respiratory disease results in the oversecretion of mucus and clogging of respiratory passageways?
Cystic fibrosis
What type of breathing results in respiratory alkalosis?
Hyperventilation
What are the sign and symptoms of respiratory arrest?
complete shut down of the respiratory system. respiratory arrest is the ultimate result of prolonged respiratory failure. respiratory arrest usually results in cardiac arrest. (in children)
What is the prognosis for renal tubular acidosis?
Careful balancing of body chemicals will usually produce good results. If there is an underlying disease responsible for the kidney malfunction, it may be the determining factor in the prognosis.
What is the health hazard of excessive noise exposure?
Excessive noise exposure results in:hearing losstinnituspossibly also in hypertension
How does the respiratory system deal with the digestive system?
Good respiratory system imoroves digestive system. People who does pranayama will know the results
