Respiratory Acidosis
labored breathing, cyanosis, CNS depression, drowsiness, stupor, disorientation
Metabolic Alkalosis
Administration of alkali - antacids
Metabolic Alkalosis
Brought on by non-respiratory losses of acid from the body or by accumulation of bases
Respiratory Acidosis

Respiratory Alkalosis
Caused by a decrease in CO2
Respiratory Acidosis
Caused by an excess of CO2 in the blood
