Compensatory responses are the compensation mechanism that maintains the body's fluid levels. The increased alveolar ventilation is seen in aspirin overdose.
Aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid is a general pain reliever that can cause poisoning when overdosed. It results in tinnitus, hyperventilation, increased heart rate, low blood pressure, fever, dehydration, etc.
Aspirin toxicity decreases the pH making the blood more acidic causing increased ventilation through alveoli to remove the excess carbon dioxide to balance the pH levels.
Therefore, in aspirin poisoning, the increased alveolar ventilation is the acute compensatory response.
