How does cns depression lead to respiratory alkalosis?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It doesn't: Respiratory alkalosis occurs as a result of hyperventilation, or breathing rapidly, releasing co2 and increasing your blood ph. CNS depression slows down your breathing, retaining co2, resulting usually in respiratory acidosis.

Hyperventilation: Injuries to the brainstem and tegmentum can cause both CNS depression and hyperventilation. Hyperventilation results in respiratory alkalosis.
