D
Respiratory alkalosis is caused by hyperventilation, which can be precipitated by anxiety, fear, pain, fever, rapid mechanical ventilation, hypoxia at high altitudes, or by disease conditions such as brain tumors. In respiratory alkalosis, the blood pH is above 7.45 and the partial carbon dioxide level is less than 35 mmHg.
