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.
2. Examine the PCO2 number on your report. This number is the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. It is the respiratory component in acid-base balance. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). The normal level for PCO2 is between 35 to 45 mmHg.1  The condition of respiratory alkalosis is present if the PCO2 number is below 35 mmHg. 2  This means there is too little carbon dioxide in the blood. 3  A person with this condition can be breathing very fast (hyperventilating).he normal level for PCO2 is between 35 to 45 mmHg. 1  The condition of respiratory alkalosis is present if the PCO2 number is below 35 mmHg. 2  The condition of respiratory acidosis is present if the PCO2 number is above 45 mmHg.
