Compensation has a direction | Medical student recall

A 35-second silent, caption-led lesson for medical students. No narration or music. Pause at the question and then check your reasoning. 0:00 A simplified mechanism — A primary fall in bicarbonate can lower pH. We are considering metabolic acidosis, not diagnosing a patient. 0:07 The respiratory response — Increased ventilation can lower carbon dioxide and oppose the fall in pH. 0:14 Your turn · pause — In that response, would CO2 rise or fall? 0:21 CO2 falls — The response moves pH toward normal. It does not identify or remove the underlying cause. 0:28 Keep the limits — Real interpretation needs pH, CO2, bicarbonate and clinical context. This is a direction map, not a treatment guide.
