compensation will be by hypervintilation to decrease Pco2...and compensation could be partial(incomplete)..or complete....if it is partial ,the pco2 will be less than 40...and the PH less than 7.4....complete means the PH is normal....

does pH go to normal or close to normal.
goljan says it will never reach normal levels.

according to kaplan ,,if it is complete compensation ,,,PH should go to normal...if it is partial or incomplete ,,it would be close to normal....
