An unusual cause of respiratory alkalosis
Chest.
1991 Oct.
Abstract
A 56-year-old man with a longstanding tracheostomy presented to the hospital with upper GI bleeding and was found to have a profound respiratory alkalosis. The cause of this patient's involuntary hyperventilation was hiccuping complicated by the absence of glottic closure.
