Respiratory alkalosis/ carbonic acid deficit
Causes and clinical signs of metabolic acidosis
Causes: D+, renal dz, diabetes, overuse of acidic drugs, severe burns, & open wounds
Clinical signs: increased CO2, CNS depression
Causes and clinical signs of metabolic alkalosis
Causes: severe V+
Clinical signs: over- excited CNS, tetany, twitching, convulsions
Causes and clinical signs of respiratory acidosis
Causes: Barbiturates, prolonged anesthesia, trauma, any respiratory compensation increasing CO2 retention
Clinical signs: Rapid shallow breathing from inhibited lung function, CNS depression, confusion, ataxia, coma
Causes and clinical signs of respiratory alkalosis
Causes: Hyperventilation, heatstroke, F+, O2 and CO2 deficits, excitement, and drug induced stimluation
