Respiratory compensation is the modulation by the brainstem respiratory centers, which involves altering alveolar ventilation to try to bring the plasma pH back to its normal value (7.4) in order to keep the acid-base balance in the body. It usually occurs within minutes to hours and is much faster than renal compensation, but has less ability to restore normal values. In metabolic acidosis, chemoreceptors sense a changed acid-base balance with a plasma pH of lesser than normal (<7.4). The chemo
