Does any one have a query for respiratory alkalosis. I have a pt with pneumonia, and a PH 7.52, pCO2 29 normal HCO3. I am wanting to ask for a Respiratory alkalosis due to pnueumonia. I am not sure how to do this without being leading.

    I'd query for the significance of the lab values. I have a signs and symptoms query that I use for things like this.
