1. Respiratory acidosis does not have a great effect on electrolyte levels.2. A decrease in blood pH due to respiratory depression is called respiratory acidosis . 3. It can be associated with chronic respiratory acidosis . 4. In summary, the kidneys partially compensate for respiratory acidosis by raising blood bicarbonate. 5. Holding one's breath increases CO 2, also known as respiratory acidosis . 6. Together with respiratory acidosis , it is one of the two general causes of acidemia. 7. CO 2 will also accumulate in the tissues of the body, resulting in respiratory acidosis . 8. By definition it causes an increased concentration of carbon dioxide ( hypercapnia ) and respiratory acidosis . 9. If these homeostats are compromised, then a respiratory acidosis , or a respiratory alkalosis will occur. 10. There are four basic processes : metabolic acidosis, respiratory acidosis , metabolic alkalosis, and respiratory alkalosis.
