2. INTRODUCTION
Respiratory failure is a sudden and life-threatening
deterioration of the gas exchange function of the
lung.
It exists when the exchange of oxygen for carbon
dioxide in the lungs cannot keep up with the rate of
oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production
by the cells of the body.
Respiratory failure is a condition in which your
blood doesn't have enough oxygen or has too much
carbon dioxide.
Sometimes you can have both problems.

4. DEFINITION OF RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Respiratory failure is a syndrome of inadequate gas
exchange due to dysfunction of one or more
essential components of the respiratory system:
Such as
Chest wall (including pleura and diaphragm)
Airways
Alveolar – capillary units
Pulmonary circulation
Nerves
CNS or Brain Stem

6. EPIDEMIOLOGY OF RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Incidence: about 360,000 cases per year in the
United States
36% die during hospitalization
Morbidity and mortality rates increase with age and
presence of co morbidities
It is the main cause of death from pneumonia and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
which together comprise the third-leading cause of
death in the United States today.

8. ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is defined as a fall in
arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) to less than 50 mm
Hg (hypoxemia) and a rise in arterial carbon dioxide
tension (PaCO2) to greater than 50 mm Hg
(hypercapnia), with an arterial pH of less than 7.35.

9. ARF
Respiratory system mechanisms leading to ARF
include:
Alveolar hypoventilation
Diffusion abnormalities
Ventilation–perfusion mismatching
Shunting

10. CHRONIC RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Chronic respiratory failure is defined as
deterioration in the gas exchange function of the
lung that has developed insidiously or has persisted
for a long period after an episode of ARF.
The absence of acute symptoms and the presence
of a chronic respiratory acidosis suggest the
chronicity of the respiratory failure.
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
10
11. CAUSES OF CHRONIC RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Two causes of chronic respiratory failure are COPD
and neuromuscular diseases.
Patients with these disorders develop a tolerance to
the gradually worsening hypoxemia and
hypercapnia.
However, a patient with chronic respiratory failure
may develop ARF.
This is seen in the COPD patient who develops an
exacerbation or infection that causes additional
deterioration of the gas exchange mechanism.

12. TYPES OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Type I or Hypoxemic respiratory failure
Type II or Hypercapnic respiratory failure
Type III Respiratory Failure: Perioperative
Respiratory Failure
Type IV Respiratory Failure: Shock
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
12
13. TYPE I OR HYPOXEMIC RESPIRATORY FAILURE
It means that a person is not exchanging oxygen
properly in their lungs.
This may be due to swelling or damage to the
lungs.
A person with type 1 acute respiratory failure has
very low oxygen levels.
PaO2<60 mm of Hg
Failure of oxygen exchange
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
13
14. DEFINITION
Type 1 respiratory failure is defined as a low level of
oxygen in the blood (hypoxemia) with either a
normal (normocapnia) or low (hypocapnia) level of
carbon dioxide (PaCO2) but not an increased level
(hypercapnia).
It is typically caused by a ventilation/perfusion (V/Q)
mismatch; the volume of air flowing in and out of
the lungs is not matched with the flow of blood to
the lungs.
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
14
15. CAUSES OF TYPE 1 ARF
ARF
• Low ambient oxygen
• Ventilation-perfusion mismatch
ARF
• Alveolar hypoventilation
• Diffusion problem
ARF
• Shunt
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
15
16. TYPE II OR HYPERCAPNIC RESPIRATORY FAILURE :
(PACO2> 45 MM OF HG): FAILURE TO EXCHANGE OR REMOVE CARBON DIOXIDE
In type II ARF ,the lungs are not removing enough
carbon dioxide
The lungs usually exchange carbon dioxide for
fresh oxygen.
This type of respiratory failure causes carbon
dioxide levels to be high.
It may result from a drug overdose that has caused
a person to breathe too slowly or because of lung
damage from smoking, which causes COPD.
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
16
17. CAUSES OF TYPE II
Increased airways resistance
Reduced breathing effort
A decrease in the area of the lung available for gas exchange
Neuromuscular problems
Deformed (kyphoscoliosis), rigid (ankylosing spondylitis), or flail
chest
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
17
18. TYPE III RESPIRATORY FAILURE:
PERIOPERATIVE RESPIRATORY FAILURE
It occurs when a person has had surgery, and the
small airways in the lungs have closed in greater
numbers.
Factors such as pain or stomach surgery, which
places higher pressure on the lungs, can also
contribute to this type of respiratory failure.
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
18
19. TYPE IV RESPIRATORY FAILURE: SHOCK
Type 4 respiratory failure is a shock state.
It means that the body cannot adequately provide
oxygen and maintain blood pressure on its own.
This can result from serious illness or injury, such
as when a person loses too much blood

39. RESEARCH STUDY
Objective
To describe the survivorship experience of patients who
had acute respiratory failure by using the Patient
Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System
(PROMIS) framework.
Methods
A total of 48 adult patients who had acute respiratory
failure completed at least 1 semistructured telephone-
based interview between 5 and 18 months after their
stay in the intensive care unit. Participants were asked
about overall well-being and important health outcomes.
mathewvmaths@yahoo.co.in
39
40. RESULTS
Major themes were identified within each of the 3
PROMIS components: physical health, mental health,
and social health.
The following themes were particularly prominent:
mobility impairments, pulmonary symptoms, fatigue,
anxiety and depression symptoms, and decreased
ability to work and participate in valued activities.
Impacts on overall well-being and on relationships with
friends and family members varied among the survivors.
Some survivors reported gratitude, increased
appreciation of life, and closer relationships to loved
ones. Other survivors reported boredom, social
isolation, and wishing they had not survived.

41. CONCLUSIONS
Survivors of acute respiratory failure reported
substantial issues with their physical, mental, and
social health.
Holistic assessments of outcomes of survivors of
critical illness should capture the complex beneficial
and adverse impacts of critical illness on survivors’
well-being and social health.
