Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis - Acid-Base Imbalance

Explore the intricacies of respiratory acidosis and alkalosis in this 12-minute video on acid-base imbalances. Delve into lung physiology and pulmonary medicine, focusing on the disturbances in acid-base status. Learn about the crucial role of hydrogen-ion concentration, bicarbonate (HCO3)-, and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) in maintaining acid-base balance. Gain a comprehensive understanding of these respiratory acid-base disorders and their impact on the body's physiological processes.
