For some reason , wether to lack of caffiene or some other distraction , I am having a hard time comprehending the relationship between metabolic acidosis and a low ETco2 . I just read an article stating metabolic acidosis could be a culprit in seeing a low reading .
I disect it in my head and it seems as if the body were in metabolic acidosis , say in the case of hyperglycemia , you get a patient with deep rapid respirations trying to compensate . Wouldnt this cause an increase in ETCo2? If they are breathing off more Co2?
