Carpopedal spasm in hyperventilation occurs because
Answer- C. Increased calcium binding to plasma proteinCarpopedal spasm and tetany is due to hypocalcemia."The alkalosis that result from hyperventilation may worsen the hypocalcemia by increasing the fraction ionized calcium bound to plasma protein.
Increased calcium uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscles
Increased calcium uptake by bones
Increased calcium binding to plasma protein
Increased urinary excretion of calcium
