respiratory alkalosis would cause metabolic acidosis
When someone breathes rapidly is this respiratory acidosis?
No. If you breathe too fast, you will blow off too much carbon dioxide, and cause respiratory alkalosis, wich is the opposite of respiratory acidosis,
What is the Medical term meaning decreased blood pH?
Usually, this acidity is caused by metabolism or respiration. Then it is called " respiratory acidosis" or "non-respiratory acidosis" (metabolic acidosis). These conditions might cause acidemia.
The most common cause of acid-base imbalance is?

What is the most common cause of acid-base imbalance?

Can global warming cause respiratory acidosis?
respiratory acidosis is a metobolic imbalance caused by internal factors....factors inside the body. not an environment factors such as global warming. Angie RN
What is the prognosis for respiratory acidosis?
If the underlying condition that caused the respiratory acidosis is treated and corrected, there may be no long term effects.
What is the medical application of acidosis?
The medical application of acidosis is to rectify the the pH of the blood. There are two main type of acidosis which are respiratory and metabolic acidosis.
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.
When can respiratory acidosis occur?
There are multiple issues that can lead to respiratory acidosis, but respiratory acidosis is defined as when the lungs cannot eliminate CO2, which leads to buildup of carbonic acid (traditionally broken down into CO2 and Water in the lungs).
Is emphysema safe around a child with respiratory problems?
Emphysema is not contagious, and someone with emphysema can be around a child with respiratory problems without endangering the child. Smokers should not be around a child with respiratory problems.
