In obstetric patients, compensated respiratory alkalosis and hypocapnia are common.

Pregnancy typically causes an increase in respiratory rate. There is a greater carbon dioxide exhalation as a result of the faster respiratory rate. Alkalosis is the result of a dip in carbonic acid caused by the reduced carbon dioxide level. The body substitutes bicarbonate with hydrogen ions for carbonic acid as a compensatory strategy.

The body successfully restores the pH in a fully compensated blood gas anomaly. Unless a disease manifests, patients in the geriatric, pediatric, and middle-aged adult populations have normal ABG levels.

<h3>Is respiratory alkalosis a serious condition?</h3>

Hyperventilation is a subsequent disease to respiratory alkalosis. The most common causes of hyperventilation are insults like hypoxia, metabolic acidosis, pain, anxiety, or an increase in metabolic demand. Although respiratory alkalosis itself is not fatal, the underlying cause might be.

How can knowledge of medical terminology help with scheduling appointments correctly the first time.
Shtirlitz [24]

The medical billing process is not undertaken by a single individual. Medical coding involves front office administrators, such as receptionists, as well as back office staff, including the medical biller and coder. It is important to understand every step of this process if you intend to pursue a career in medical billing and coding. For the purposes of this lesson, we will cover the end-to-end process of medical billing as a whole, and not just the responsibilities of the biller and coder.


The primary job of medical billing specialists is to:


Understand each individual’s responsibility for payment, as they may differ from patient to patient

Evaluate and analyze insurance coverage and medical charges, and prepare accurate billing forms

Collect accurate payments from insurance plans and/or individual patients

These three primary tasks require many specific responsibilities within the medical billing process. In this course we will break down these responsibilities into a series of steps that begins when a patient schedules an appointment and ends when reimbursement is collected from the insurance company and/or patient.
