The most common acid-base disturbance in patients with LTA is initial respiratory alkalosis, followed by metabolic acidosis, either alone or as part of a mixed acidosis. In 1976, Roncoroni et al [11] ...

THERE has been an increasing interest in the study of cerebrospinal-fluid acid–base values because alterations in brain function during systemic acid–base disorders correlate poorly with blood or ...

Blood gas and acid-base status in the purple shore crab, Hemigrapsus nudus (Dana), was determined before, during, and after 3 h of exposure to water with a PO₂ of 20 mmHg. The ventilatory, circulatory ...

Breathing too fast can cause a person to go into respiratory alkalosis. This occurs when a person’s pH level is higher than 7.45. Symptoms may include chest pain, lightheadedness, and muscle stiffness ...
