<prompt> . If blood gas analysis reveal pH 7.52, pCO23O; pO2 105.This will be compensated by?Compensatory respiratory acidosisCompensatory respiratory alkalosisCompensatory metabolic acidosisCompensatory metabolic alkalosis  <response>: As a compensatory mechanism, metabolic acidosis leads to alveolar hyperventilation with a fall in PaCO2. Normally, PaCO2 falls by 1-1.3 mm Hg for every 1-mEqL fall in serum HCO3- concentration, a compensatory response that can occur fairly quickly Ref Davidson 23rd edition pg 345
