Key terms in respiratory failure.

by Kirsty Walker
1

is a critical clinical condition where the respiratory system fails to maintain adequate gas exchange , leading to insufficient of arterial blood ( ) and / or inadequate of carbon dioxide ( ) . It is broadly classified into two main types : ( ) and ( ) . develops rapidly and can be life - threatening , often requiring intensive care and . Causes are diverse , ranging from direct lung injuries like to systemic issues such as , and conditions leading to impaired respiratory muscle function or .

Respiratory failure is characterized by the inability of the lungs to adequately the blood or carbon dioxide This physiological impairment can manifest as :
: Low levels of oxygen in the arterial blood .
: High levels of carbon dioxide in the arterial blood .
It is distinct from chronic respiratory failure or acute exacerbations of chronic respiratory diseases

Respiratory failure is classified into primary types based on the predominant abnormality :

Type ( Acute Respiratory Failure ) :
Characterized by a significant in arterial oxygen partial pressure or oxygen below 88 - 90% , without an initial in carbon dioxide
This leads to tissue due to inadequate delivery .
Pathophysiologically , it often results from ventilation - perfusion ( ) mismatch , shunt , diffusion impairment , or low inspired oxygen tension .

Type ( Acute Respiratory Failure ) :

Defined by arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure with accompanying .
It is primarily caused by alveolar or impaired muscle function .
Pathophysiologically , it occurs due to respiratory fatigue or depression of the central respiratory drive .

failure can stem from a wide array of conditions that impact the lungs or affect the respiratory system's ability to function .

Direct Lung Injuries ( Primarily causing Failure )
These conditions directly damage lung tissue , impairing :

Infectious Pneumonia : Inflammation of the lung , primarily affecting the and , often with fluid build - up ( and / or ) . Common causes include bacteria like Streptococcus and viruses such as influenza , ( ARDS ) : A severe form of acute respiratory failure characterized by diffuse alveolar damage , increased pulmonary microvascular permeability , and lung infiltrates . It can be caused by severe from conditions like SARS - CoV - 2 , SARS - CoV - 1 , and MERS - CoV [ 6 ] , [ 7 ] .
Other direct lung injuries can arise from :
Inhalation Injury ( e . g . , toxic gases )
Fat Embolism
Radiation Lung Injury
Near Drowning
Ischemia - Reperfusion Injury ( e . g . , after lung transplantation )
Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome : Occurs in premature infants due to insufficient surfactant , leading to difficulty inflating lungs .

Indirect Injuries ( Causes Leading to Lung Dysfunction )
These conditions originate the lungs but lead to dysfunction :

Non - pulmonary Sepsis
Severe Trauma or Burns
Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Autoimmune Diseases
Blood Transfusion - Related Lung Injury

" Cytokine Storm " : An uncontrolled immune reaction with release of cytokines , especially , which can cause multi - system , including inflammation

Causes of Respiratory Failure ( Pump Failure )
These conditions impair the ventilatory pump , leading to CO2 :

Acute Exacerbations of ( COPD ) : COPD involves structural and changes in the respiratory system , leading to and reduced capacity . Acute exacerbations further worsen lung function and can precipitate .
Neuromuscular Diseases : Conditions causing weakness of respiratory and oropharyngeal muscles ( e . g . , muscular dystrophies ) can lead to failure , often identified by pulmonary function tests even before overt dyspnea .
Chest Wall Deformities

Other Contributing Factors and Complications
Pulmonary Embolism : Embolism of the circulation , mostly from , causing non - specific symptoms like dyspnea and , and in severe cases , .
Pneumothorax : in the pleural cavity , which removes the of the serous fluid and lung expansion .
Postoperative Complications : Such as atelectasis ( alveolar collapse ) , pulmonary embolism , and aspiration can also precipitate respiratory failure .
Immunocompromised States : Patients with compromised immune systems are at high risk for acute respiratory illness ( ARI ) , with infections accounting for nearly 75% of pulmonary complications , which can rapidly progress to respiratory failure .
