Posthypercapnic syndrome

Abstract
Hypercapnic respiratory failure is a common cause of hospitalization and death in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The aim of this work was to analyze the pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical picture of hypercapnic respiratory failure and to discuss the tactics of managing a patient with COPD and posthypercapnic alkalosis that developed during treatment using a clinical case as an example.
Conclusion. To date, the search for new treatments for posthypercapnic alkalosis is still relevant, but there are few published studies on this topic. Acute problems in mixed metabolic disorders can be solved with an integrated therapeutic approach that includes the use of medical gases.
