alkalosis.
The student is likely experiencing respiratory alkalosis, which is caused by rapid breathing leading to decreased carbon dioxide levels in the blood. This can result in symptoms such as disorientation and lightheadedness.
Acidosis
respiratory alkalosis would cause metabolic acidosis
Yes. Acidosis is when the blood pH is lower than normal. Alkalosis usually results from hyperventilation, whereas acidosis results from asphyxiation.
They would have alkalosis
The most common cause of acid-base imbalance is respiratory alkalosis or acidosis, often due to hyperventilation or respiratory failure. Metabolic acidosis or alkalosis can also occur from conditions such as renal failure, diabetes, or dehydration.
inbalance in ABG's
Alcohol can cause metabolic acidosis due to its influence on metabolism and disruption of the acid-base balance in the body. However, chronic alcohol use can also lead to conditions such as alcoholic ketoacidosis, which is a specific type of metabolic acidosis associated with excessive alcohol consumption.

Acidosis is a condition in which the pH of the blood is lower than normal, typically due to an accumulation of acids or a loss of bases. Alkalosis is the opposite, when the blood pH is higher than normal, usually caused by excessive loss of acids or accumulation of bases. Both conditions can have serious consequences on the body's functioning and require medical intervention.
The most common cause of acid-base imbalance is respiratory acidosis or alkalosis, which occurs due to abnormal levels of carbon dioxide in the blood resulting from lung conditions such as COPD or asthma. Other common causes include metabolic acidosis or alkalosis, which result from kidney dysfunction or electrolyte imbalances.
The carbonic acid and bicarbonate in the bloodstream minimize (or buffer) any trend to acidosis or alkalosis
