risk for respiratory alkalosis * Main cause of respiratory alkalosis is tachypnea (fast respiratory rate >20 bpm which

exams and NCLEX. In addition, you will learn how to differentiate respiratory acidosis from respiratory alkalosis

system to hypoventilate (decrease respirations) which will retain PaCO2 (carbon dioxide) so it will decrease the pH

Therefore, the heart does not pump enough blood throughout the body, which will decrease cardiac output and
