Respiratory Alkalosis 呼吸性碱中毒

What is Respiratory Alkalosis？

什么是呼吸性碱中毒？

“

呼吸性碱中毒是由于过度呼吸导致血液中二氧化碳含量低导致的一种病症，因为人们的身体需要氧气才能正常运作。当你吸气时，你将氧气引入肺部；而当你呼气时，你会呼出二氧化碳，这是一种废气。通常，呼吸系统会使这两种气体在体内的含量保持平衡；但当二氧化碳浓度过高并破坏血液的酸碱平衡时，就会发生呼吸性碱中毒。它经常发生在呼吸急促、无法控制呼吸频率（换气过度）的人群中。

同时，焦虑、心脏病、疼痛、吸毒、哮喘、发烧、慢性阻塞性肺病、感染、肺栓塞等因素都会提高患呼吸性碱中毒的可能性！

呼吸性碱中毒治疗包括补充氧气和降低换气过度风险的疗法。

Respiratory alkalosis is a condition marked by a low level of carbon dioxide in the blood due to breathing excessively.Your body needs oxygen to function properly. When you inhale, you introduce oxygen into the lungs. When you exhale, you release carbon dioxide, which is a waste product. Normally, the respiratory system keeps these two gases in balance.

Respiratory alkalosis occurs when high levels of carbon dioxide disrupt the blood's acid-base balance.

It often occurs in people who experience rapid, uncontrollable breathing, include anxiety, heart attack, pain, drug use, asthma, fever, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,infection,pulmonary and embolism.

How to deal with it ？

如何应对呼吸性碱中毒？

“

以下的几条建议可用于因恐慌和焦虑导致呼吸过度引起的呼吸性碱中毒。首先，向纸袋中呼气：通过向纸袋中呼气，使纸袋充满二氧化碳。将袋子中呼出的空气吸回肺部。 重复多次，可以为身体提供所需的二氧化碳，并将其含量恢复到正常的水平。其次，寻求身边人的安抚：呼吸性碱中毒的症状可能是致命的， 它通常会导致更快更深的呼吸，让身体状况变得更糟糕。让冷静的爱人或者亲友提供安慰，这可以帮助你控制呼吸哦。 最后，我们可以限制氧气进入肺部。尝试在噘起嘴唇时呼吸或通过一个鼻孔呼吸。记住！为了使这个方法有用，需要遮住嘴巴和另一个鼻孔～过度呼吸症状与其他严重健康状况的症状非常相似，所以大家第一次出现呼吸过度和呼吸性碱中毒症状时，都应该立即去医院，及时就医！同时请注意，医生确认过度呼吸的确切原因后，才可以使用上一节中描述的策略哦。The following strategies and tips are useful for respiratory alkalosis caused by over-breathing due to panic and anxiety.First, breathe into a paper bag: fill the paper bag with carbon dioxide by exhaling it. Breathe the exhaled air from the bag back into the lungs. Repeat this several times. Doing this several times can give the body the carbon dioxide it needs and bring levels back up to where they should be. Second, get reassurance: the symptoms of respiratory alkalosis can be frightening. This often causes faster and deeper breathing, making things worse. Having a calm loved one provide reassurance could help get your breathing under control. The final one, restrict oxygen intake into the lungs. to do this, try breathing while pursing the lips or breathing through one nostril. The mouth and the other nostril need to be covered for the second approach to be useful.

Anyone experiencing over breathing and the symptoms of respiratory alkalosis for the first time should go to the hospital right away. The strategies described in the previous section should only be used if a doctor has confirmed the exact cause of over breathing. To be useful, the mouth and the other nostril need to be covered.

Over breathing symptoms are very similar to the symptoms of other serious health conditions， therefore anyone who is experiencing over breathing and the symptoms of respiratory alkalosis for the first time should go to the hospital right away. The strategies described in the previous section should only be used if a doctor has confirmed the exact cause of over breathing.
