Adults: Metabolic acidosis AND Respiratory alkalosis
Children: Metabolic acidosis ONLY. (If fasting a starvation ketosis may develop)
Respiratory Alkalosis: First phase; Direct stimulation of medullary respiratory centers by ASA. Does not happen in children [1]
Metabolic Acidosis: Second phase; ASA toxicity causes anion gap metabolic acidosis. THIS IS NOT DUE TO ASA directly as an acid. [1]
