please be detailed with your explanation

Respiratory Acidosis: CO2↑ pH Symptoms Failure to ventilate, suppression of breathing, disorientation, weakness, coma Causes Lung disease blocking gas diffusion (e.g., emphysema, pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma); depression of respiratory center by drugs, cardiopulmonary arrest, stroke, poliomyelitis, or nervous system disorders Treatment Correction of disorder, infusion of bicarbonate Metabolic Acidosis: H+↑ pHI Symptoms Increased ventilation, fatigue, confusion Renal disease, including hepatitis and cirrhosis; increased acid production in diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, alcoholism, and starvation; loss of alkali in diarrhea; acid retention in renal failure Causes Treatment Sodium bicarbonate given orally, dialysis for renal failure, insulin treatment for diabetic ketosis Respiratory Alkalosis: CO2 pH↑ Symptoms Increased rate and depth of breathing, numbness, light-headedness, tetany Causes Hyperventilation because of anxiety, hysteria, fever, exercise; reaction to drugs such as salicylate, quinine, and antihistamines; conditions causing hypoxia (e.g., pneumonia, pulmonary edema, heart disease) Treatment Elimination of anxiety-producing state, rebreathing into a paper bag Metabolic Alkalosis: H+) pH↑ Symptoms Depressed breathing, apathy, confusion Causes Vomiting, diseases of the adrenal glands, ingestion of excess alkali Treatment Infusion of saline solution, treatment of underlying diseases
