Respiratory distress
⦿ Respiratory distress is a clinical
impression
⦿ Increased rate+ increased work
=increased minute ventilation
Respiratory failure
⦿ inability of the lungs to provide sufficient
oxygen (hypoxic respiratory failure) or
remove carbon dioxide (ventilatory failure)
to meet metabolic demands.
⦿ Inadequate oxygenation/ ventilation when
compensatory mechanism fail to maintain
gas exchange
Respiratory failure
⦿ Pao2 < 60 with breathing of room air
and
⦿ Paco2 > 50 resulting in acidosis,
⦿ the patient's general state, respiratory
effort, and potential for impending
exhaustion are more important indicators
than blood gas values.
⦿ Respiratory distress can occur in
patients without respiratory disease,
and
⦿ respiratory failure can occur in patients
without respiratory distress.
The causes:
⦿ Respiratory load related to lung or
airway
⦿ conditions that affect the respiratory
pump failure (respiratory muscle
failure)
⦿ Related to central nervous system
Airway/Lung Dysfunction
● Central Airway Obstruction
⦿ — Croup
⦿ — Foreign body
⦿ — Anaphylaxis
⦿ — Bacterial tracheitis
⦿ — Epiglottitis
⦿ — Retropharyngeal abscess
⦿ — Bulbar muscle weakness/dysfunction
● Peripheral Airways/Parenchymal Lung Disease
⦿ — Status asthmaticus
⦿ — Bronchiolitis
⦿ — Pneumonia
⦿ — Acute respiratory distress syndrome
⦿ — Pulmonary edema
⦿ — Pulmonary contusion
⦿ — Cystic fibrosis
⦿ — Chronic lung disease (eg, bronchopulmonary dysplasia)
Respiratory Pump Dysfunction
● Decreased Central Nervous System (CNS) Input
⦿ — Head injury
⦿ — Ingestion of CNS depressant
⦿ — Adverse effect of procedural sedation
⦿ — Intracranial bleeding
⦿ — Apnea of prematurity
● Peripheral Nerve/Neuromuscular Junction
⦿ — Spinal cord injury
⦿ — Organophosphate/carbamate poisoning
⦿ — Guillian-Barre´ syndrome
⦿ — Myasthenia gravis
⦿ — Infant botulism
● Muscle Weakness
⦿ — Respiratory muscle fatigue due to increased work of breathing
⦿ — Myopathies/Muscular dystrophies
Lung/Airway Disease
⦿ Diseases of the lung or airways affect gas
exchange most often by disrupting the normal
matching of V/Q or by causing a shunt.
⦿ usually can maintain a normal Paco2 as lung
disease worsens simply by breathing more.
⦿ hypoxemia is the hallmark of lung disease
Causes of hypoxia
⦿ Hypoxemia due to V/Q mismatch
⦿ Diffusion block
⦿ Hypoventilation
⦿ Right to left shunting
Ventilation-Perfusion
Mismatch
Perfusion without
ventilation V (low)/Q= 0:
SHUNTING
V/Q=1
NORMAL
N: 0.8
Ventilation without perfusion
V/Q (low)= INFINTY
ALVEOLAR DEAD SPACE
EG:PULMONARY EDEMA EG : PULMONARY EMBOLISM
Diffusion
⦿ diffusion defects manifest as hypoxemia rather
than hypercarbia.
⦿ Refers to process that impair gas exchange at
alveolar membrane due to presence of fluid,
inflammatory infiltrates, surfactant dysfunction
⦿ Examples :
Interstitial pneumonia, ARDS, Surfactant
dysfunction, Pulmonary edema,…
Hypoventilation
⦿ Includes all condition causing pump failure
(neuromuscular weakness) causing respiratory
muscle dysfunction
⦿ low respiratory rate and shallow breathing are both
signs of hypoventilation.
⦿ The Paco2 increases in proportion to a decrease
in ventilation.
⦿ Pao2 falls approximately the same amount as
the Paco2 increases.
Monitoring a Child in
Respiratory Distress and
Respiratory Failure
Clinical Examination
⦿ Clinical observation is the most
important component of monitoring.
ABG & Oximetry
⦿ ABG /CBG/ VBG
⦿ Oximetry
- Oximetry provides an invaluable and usually
accurate measurement of oxygenation.
- important to recognize its technical limitations
Respiratory failure
⦿ Acute
⦿ Chronic
Acute
Respiratory Failure
ARF
⦿ most common cause of cardiac arrest in children.
When presented with a child who has:
⦿ a decreased level of consciousness,
⦿ slow/shallow breathing, or increased
⦿ respiratory drive, the possibility of
ARF should be considered
First:
⦿ to assure adequate gas exchange and
circulation (the ABCs).
⦿ Oxygen Administration to maintain … .
⦿ If Ventilation is or appears to be inadequate …..
⦿ Intubation ?
Need ICU
Arterial gas composition
depends on :
⦿ the gas composition of the atmosphere
⦿ the effectiveness of alveolar ventilation
⦿ pulmonary capillary perfusion
⦿ diffusion across the alveolar capillary
membrane
Chronic
Respiratory Failure
CRF
is seen most commonly in children who have:
⦿ Respiratory muscle weakness (muscular
dystrophy, anterior horn cell disease) or
⦿ severe chronic lung diseases (BPD, end-
stage cystic fibrosis)
⦿ usually has an insidious onset
⦿ Most children do not have dyspnea.
⦿ PH normal or near normal , unless…..
⦿ Recognizing need careful monitoring
of children at risk for CRF
⦿ Disordered sleep
⦿ Daytime hypersomnolence
⦿ Morning headaches
⦿ Altered mental status
⦿ Increased respiratory symptoms
⦿ Cardiomegaly
⦿ Decreased baseline oxygenation
⦿ CRF often presents first during sleep
⦿ Develops an intercurrent illness , Fever
