Abstract

The lungs serve to defend pH by altering alveolar ventilation which serves to control the pCO<inf>2</inf> of body fluids. Respiratory acidosis develops as a result of ineffective alveolar ventilation. Respiratory alkalosis results from hypocapnia and is defined by a PaCO<inf>2</inf> of less than 35 mmHg in the setting of alkalemia. An increase in alveolar ventilation relative to CO<inf>2</inf> production gives rise to respiratory alkalosis. The clinical disorders which lead to ineffective ventilation or excess ventilation are discussed in this chapter.
