AbstractRespiratory acid-base disorders are often not thought of as frequently as their metabolic cousins, which occur more frequently in the emergency department. Although most respiratory and acid-base disturbances are driven by lung pathology, central nervous system and other organ systems can and do play a role as well. Although managing the airway and appropriate mechanical ventilation may be necessary, it is akin to placing a band-aid on a large wound. It is crucial for the emergency clinician to discover the etiology of the disturbance as management depends on treating the underlying etiology to prevent worsening acid-base status.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
