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.
[Important Note: The distinction between hypocapnia & respiratory alkalosis has been made in Section 6.1. The metabolic effects mentioned here are those of hypocapnia rather than respiratory alkalosis per se.]
