Raise pH
To a patient whose blood pH is 6, one should administer an anion. pH 6 indicates a weak acid, hence an weak base (with anions) would help raise pH to neutral.

I'm a chemist waste water operator and we use caustic soda to raise pH levels and sulfuric acid to lower pH levels
No, they lower it. Coke PH is 2.5.
it raises the pH of the blood by getting rid of some of the hydrogen ions in the blood.
Hypercapnia increases blood acidity and therefore decreases blood pH.
Raise pH
It means that you are hyperventilating. Some times this is the body's response to what is called acidosis, which is a low blood PH. Since carbon dioxide is an acid in the body, the body will increase the breathing rate to "blow off" some CO2 and raise the blood's PH. This is the body's fastest way to balance blood PH. If we are too acidic, then we blow off more CO2, if we are alkalotic, we slow our breathing down and retain CO2, thereby decreasing our blood PH. Another (slower) regulator of blood PH are the kidneys. When we are chronically acidotic, our kidneys will retain bicarbonate to raise the blood PH. When we are chronically alkalotic, our kidneys will excrete bicarbonate in the urine, thereby lowering the PH.

The pH of human blood tends to be very stable because the dissolved carbon dioxide, which is a metabolic by-product, forms carbonic acid which acts as a pH buffer. Smoking tobacco will add more carbon dioxide (as well as carbon monoxide) to the blood, but the pH will remain the same.
It will raise the pH.

Acid lowers the PH number. You want the pH to be between 7.0 and 7.4. To raise the ph you can use baking soda.
