The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of this mode of oxygen therapy on the arterial-blood gases of patients ... development of critical respiratory acidosis before medical therapy ...

Significant chemical determinations on the blood are recorded in Table 2. These established the presence of a severe metabolic acidosis, with considerable respiratory compensation. An ...

marks the onset of hyperventilation (“respiratory compensation”) during incremental exercise. Its physiological meaning has not yet been definitely determined, but the most common explanation is a ...

Diagnosis of metabolic acidosis involves two primary blood tests: an arterial blood gas to detect a low pH and a basic ...
