Hypercapnic respiratory failure with an arterial pH <7.20

If the acidosis is related with reduced or obstructed respiration we called it respiratory acidosis.

If the acidosis is related with reduced or obstructed respiration we called it respiratory acidosis.

Also, oxygen may provoke respiratory acidosis and morning headache in some patients.

Respiratory acidosis occurs when there is too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the body.

Respiratory acidosis develops when the lungs do not expel carbon dioxide adequately.

Respiratory acidosis occurs when carbon dioxide is not blown off appropriately.

Respiratory acidosis occurs when too much carbon dioxide (CO2) buildup in the body.

Those that affect respiration and cause changes in CO2 concentration are called respiratory acidosis (low pH) or respiratory alkalosis (high pH).

Those that affect breathing and cause changes in carbon dioxide concentration are called respiratory acidosis (low pH) or respiratory alkalosis (high pH).

The pH-level, the pCO2 and the concentration of bicarbonate are relevant to determine whether a patient is suffering from respiratory or metabolic acidosis or respiratory or metabolic alkalosis.

Those that affect breathing and cause changes in carbon dioxide concentration are called respiratory acidosis (low pH) or respiratory alkalosis (high pH).

Those that affect respiration and cause changes in CO2 concentration are called respiratory acidosis (low pH) or respiratory alkalosis (high pH).

Those that affect respiration and cause changes in pH due to changes in CO2 concentration are called respiratory acidosis (low pH) and respiratory alkalosis (high pH).

Respiratory acidosis is a lung disorder in which the body cannot expel enough carbon dioxide when exhaling.
