Term
What is the difference between respiratory pH compensation and metabolic compensation?
 Definition

Rapid and effective in removing CO2.  CO2 elimination is inversely proportional to the degree of alveolar ventilation.

 

Uses the bicarbonate equation.  Slow response but better for long term. Active within 12-24 hours, peaks at 72 hours, and completed within 1 week.
Term

What is the number 1 cause of increased ventilation?

 

What is a secondary cause?
