|
Respiratory compensation is:
|
|
increase of blood bicarbonate
|
|
|
exhalation of CO2
|
|
|
overall process of respiratory assistance in buffering lactic acid
|
|
|
more oxygen in hemoglobin
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The respiratory system maintains the pH of the blood by the bicarbonate buffer system. When the pH of the blood decreases the concentration of hydrogen ions in the blood increase, this causes the equation above to move towards the left as it is in equilibrium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Respiratory compensation is the physiologic mechanism to help normalize a metabolic acidosis, however, compensation never completely corrects an acidemia. It is important to determine if there is adequate respiratory compensation or if there is another underlying respiratory acid-base disturbance.
