Respiratory alkalosis is a medical condition in which increased respiration elevates the blood pH (a condition generally called alkalosis). It is one of four basic categories of disruption of acid-base homeostasis. This condition is commonly associated with a decrease in PaCO2 (hyperventilation). ==Terminology== ==Types== There are two types of re...
