Respiratory alkalosis
Respiratory alkalosis refers to an increase in pH due to a primary reduction in plasma H2CO3 concentration or PaCO2 due to excessive pulmonary ventilation (7.45). According to the incidence, it is also divided into two categories: acute and chronic. For every 10mmHg (1.3kPa) of PaCO2 decreased in acute patients, HC03- decreased by about 2mmol / L; in chronic patients, HCO3- decreased by 4 ～ 5mmol / L.
