Hyperventilation will blow off carbon dioxide which reduces the alkaline component of the blood, resulting in acidosis and a lower blood pH. (See Andromeda Strain). This is why re-breathing into a bag to increase carbon dioxide in your blood will make you feel less faint. Now you know why you pass out when blowing up that air mattress on the camping trip!
you are close but not right
it produces respiratory alkalosis and a higher blood pH

Do Veins have high concentration in CO2?
Usually, but not necessarily. A vein is a blood vessel that is returning to the heart, so it usually has a higher concentration of CO2 than an artery. But in the case of the Pulmonary vein, it is returning to the heart from the lungs, so it has a higher concentration of oxygen than carbon dioxide.
Why does breathing into a paper bag decrease effects of hyperventilation?
The major symptoms caused by hyperventilation are caused by the decrease in arterial carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by hyperventilation. Breathing into a bag causes you to rebreathe CO2 and raise the CO2 level, which causes the symptoms to go away. The danger of this is that you can actually raise the CO2 level too much and cause other problems.
Why does the pH level decrease when blood CO2 levels increase?
well...too much CO2 in the body means there's a high H+ concentration.... which means there's low pH.
What effect does hemolysis have on CO2 values?
Hemolysis can falsely increase CO2 values in blood samples because red blood cells release CO2 when they are broken down. This can interfere with accurate measurement of CO2 levels in the blood. It is important to differentiate between true changes in CO2 levels and those caused by hemolysis when interpreting test results.
What is the formula that represents the behavior of CO2 in the blood?
The behavior of CO2 in the blood is represented by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, which relates the pH of a solution to the concentration of bicarbonate and dissolved carbon dioxide. The equation is: pH = 6.1 + log([HCO3-] / 0.03 × PCO2), where [HCO3-] is the bicarbonate concentration and PCO2 is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide.
Does hyperventilation raise or lower blood sugar blood CO2 concentration?
does nothing to blood sugar, and lowers co2 to almost nothing.
Why does Hyperventilation cause apnea?
WIth hyperventilation there is a decrease of CO2 in the blood and lungs. Lowering CO2 concentration increases the time before the respiratory center becomes stimulated.
Hyperventilation is most likely to be accompanied by a?
decrease in blood CO2 concentration and a rise in pH
What effect does rapid exhalation of CO2 during excerise have on the concentration of H2CO3 in the blood?
Rapid exhalation of CO2 during exercise leads to a decrease in blood CO2 levels, resulting in a shift of the carbonic acid equilibrium to produce more bicarbonate ions. This increases the concentration of bicarbonate ions and decreases the concentration of H2CO3 in the blood.
What effect does rapid exhalation of CO2 during exercise have on the concentration of H2CO3 in the blood?
i ask u men
How would the movement of CO2 be affected if the concentration of CO2 in the lungs was equal or higher than the concentration in the blood?
If the concentration of CO2 in the lungs was higher or equal the concentration in the blood, there will be no diffusion of CO2 in the air of the lungs. The person will suffocate in this situation.
When hyperventilation causes a patient to exhale large amounts of CO2 the blood pH rises in a condition called?
Respiratory Alkalosis.
How can damage to the respiratory system be prevented during free diving?
Hyperventilation is used by free divers to reduce the concentration of CO2 and extend the length of breath-holding.
How can a change in respiration affect blood pH?
Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation) or slowly (hyperventilation) are ways the body may become unbalanced or attempt to compensate an imbalanced blood pH. The blood's normal pH is 7.35-7.45. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is acts to acidify the blood (lower the pH). Therefore, hyperventilating (deceasing the CO2 contained in the blood) increases blood pH. Inversely, hypoventilation creates a decline in blood pH.
What acid-base imbalance occurred with hyperventilation?
When you have too much CO2, you start hyperventilating. What too much CO2 does is that it makes more acid in your blood. This problem is called acidosis. So your blood basically becomes too acidic, which leads to your body needing to remove this CO2 that is causing this.
Intracranial pressure in presence of hyperventilation?
Goes down. Hyperventilation "blows off" carbon dioxide (CO2), lowering the blood CO2 levels; this causes vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels) resulting in a lower blood volume in the brain and a slight drop in intracranial pressure. It is a temporary measure, however, and even though it lowers intracranial pressure it may make brain injury worse, because it reduces cerebral perfusion (the flow of blood to the brain.)
Does hyperventilation causes blood pH to rise or fall?
Hyperventilation causes 'Decrease' in carbon bi oxide level in blood. It causes, what is called as 'Respiratory alkalosis'. Symptoms are dizziness, light headedness and numbness of the hands and feet. If patient continue to hyperventilate, she lands up in a condition called 'Tetany' witch is common in females, as they are socially discriminated. In Tetany, patient's thumb get typically 'Inward' and she may land up in fits. If you willfully do hyperventilation, you will fall down, without your knowledge and may get head injury and die.
