An aspirin overdose can lead to respiratory alkalosis, as it stimulates the central nervous system, increasing the rate and depth of breathing. This occurs because salicylates (the active component of aspirin) can interfere with the regulation of acid-base balance in the body, prompting the body to expel more carbon dioxide (CO2) through increased respiration. The resultant decrease in CO2 levels can cause a compensatory increase in respiratory rate. Additionally, metabolic acidosis may also develop, further influencing respiratory drive.
