1 Unaudited Financial Results for the Quarter ended 31st March, 2015 along with Limited Review Report. 2  Date: 14th May, 2015.
The ABG values one would see with respiratory alkalosis would be: pH > 7.45; PaCO2 < 35 mm Hg; and HCO3 < 22 mEq/L if compensating. In acute respiratory alkalosis the compensation is to lower the serum HCO3 by 2 mEq/L for every 10 mmHg reduction in PaCO2.
Signs and symptoms of respiratory alkalosis are related to the decreased blood carbon dioxide levels, and include peripheral paraesthesia. In addition, the alkalosis may disrupt calcium ion balance, and cause the symptoms of hypocalcaemia (such as tetany and fainting) with no fall in total serum calcium levels.However, chronic respiratory alkalosis leads to hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia, by inducing renal PTH-resistance.here are two types of respiratory alkalosis: chronic and acute as a result of the 3-5 day delay in kidney compensation of the abnormality. 1  Acute respiratory alkalosis occurs rapidly. 2  For every 10 mmHg drop in PCO2 in arterial blood, there is a corresponding 2 mEq/L drop in bicarbonate ion due to acute compensation.
