| 1. | This is the significant factor that prevents correction of the alkalosis.
|
| 2. | Alkalosis is the opposite condition, with blood pH being excessively high.
|
| 3. | Alkalosis interferes with normal oxygen utilization by the brain.
|
| 4. | Thus, protracted vomiting can result in metabolic alkalosis.
|
| 5. | Such a disturbance is called a metabolic alkalosis ( Fig . 12 ).
|
| 6. | The alkalosis-induced euphoria can be followed rapidly by hypoxia-induced unconsciousness.
|
| 7. | One hypothesis for the bird's adaptation to respiratory alkalosis is tracheal coiling.
|
| 8. | Since sodium bicarbonate can cause alkalosis, it is sometimes used to treat aspirin overdoses.
|
| 9. | This respiratory alkalosis reduces the concentration of HCO3 and return plasma pH to normal levels.
|
| 10. | Improper balance can lead to dehydration, alkalosis, acidosis or other life-threatening changes.
