61
Q

after __ days of resp acidosis, renal compensation occurs

A

1-2 days

62
Q

how do the kidneys compensate for resp acidosis

high, low

64
Q

resp alkalosis is caused by ___ventilation and ___carbia

bicarb infusion,metabolism of lactate or citrate, loss of H+ from vomiting or excessive NGT suctioning

73
Q
