   What are the different types of respiratory failure?

   • Respiratory failure can be classified based on chronicity (i.e., acute, chronic, and acute on chronic). A thorough understanding of respiratory failure is crucial to managing this disorder. If either type of respiratory failure is not identified and addressed early, it will become life-threatening and lead to respiratory arrest, coma, and death.

   What is acute respiratory failure?

   • In acute respiratory failure, the usual exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the lungs does not occur. As a result, the heart, brain, and other organs cannot get enough oxygen. A person may feel sleepy or faint. Acute respiratory failure occurs when the air sacs of the lungs cannot release enough oxygen into the blood.

   Jun 11, 2023 · Type 1 respiratory failure occurs when the respiratory system cannot adequately provide oxygen to the body, leading to hypoxemia. Type 2 respiratory failure occurs when the respiratory system cannot sufficiently remove carbon dioxide from the body, leading to hypercapnia.

   • Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
   • Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure
   • Perioperative Respiratory Failure

   Hypoxemic respiratory failure happens when you don’t have enough oxygen in your blood (hypoxemia). Heart and lung conditions are the most common causes. Hypoxemic respiratory failure is also called hypoxic respiratory failure.

   Hypercapnic respiratory failure happens when you have too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in your blood. If your body can’t get rid of carbon dioxide, a waste product, there isn’t room for your blood cells to carry oxygen. The most common causes of hypercapnic respiratory failure include heart, lung, muscle and neurological (brain and spinal cord) condit...

   Perioperative respiratory failure can happen when you have surgery. Anesthesia (medication that keeps you asleep) can keep you from breathing properly. Sometimes, air sacs in your lungs can collapse (atelectasis) and keep oxygen from getting into your blood. Shock is a condition that causes low blood pressure, fluid in your lungs (pulmonary edema) ...

   Table. What Causes Respiratory Failure? Low oxygen level (hypoxemic respiratory failure) A common cause of hypoxemic respiratory failure is an abnormality of the lung tissue, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, severe pneumonia, excess fluid in the lungs (for example, caused by heart failure or kidney failure), or lung scarring.
