With reference to acid-base balance explore the role of the respiratory system in maintaining blood pH? ‘We live and die at the cellular level’ (Reid‚ 2011). Homeostasis is crucial for normal cellular function. Acid-base homeostasis is the part of human homeostasis and refers to the balance between the production and elimination of H+ hydrogen ions (pH) within the body fluids (William‚ Simpkins‚ 2001‚ p.236).

skeletal muscles and organ systems. In order to accommodate this rise in oxygen demand there must be an increase in the subject’s minute ventilation. The rise in minute volume‚ with exercise‚ could be accomplished by increasing the volume of each breath‚ the tidal volume‚ increasing the respiratory rate or by some combination of the two. In the subject’s case it was a combination of the two. Tidal volume is more effective at increasing minute ventilation than respiratory rate‚ however‚ if a subject

As respiratory therapist it is imperative to ensure that the treatment given is of top quality as well as efficient and cost-effective. In the pass‚ quality care was hindered by improper recommendations on therapy for patients from physicians‚ which led to increased cost in respiratory care.
