title: [Respiratory insufficiency in mucoviscidosis. Pathophysiologic aspects of conservative drug therapy].
abstract: The compensated chronic respiratory acidosis in a girl with cystic fibrosis changed into a mixed respiratory acidosis and metabolic alkalosis under the influence of therapeutic measures. As a consequence respiratory insufficiency worsened. Conservative management of the alkalosis alone both improved hypoxemia and hypercapnia without needing artificial ventilation.
