A type of respiratory failure where the individual has hypoxia (PaO2 <8kPa) but normal (or low) CO2 levels
Type one
1 of 15
A type of respiratory failure where the individual has hypoxia and hypercapnia
Type two
2 of 15
What is likely to occur when there is low PIO2, hypoventilation, diffusion impairment, ventilation-perfusion mismatching or a right-to-left shunt?
Hypoxia
3 of 15
The one reason why hypercapnia would occur. (With hypoxia there can be normal levels of PCO2 because peripheral chemoreceptors will increase ventilation)
Hypoventilation
4 of 15
The equation displayed by PACO2 directly proportional to VCO2/VA
Alveolar gas equation
5 of 15
This occurs due to hypercapnia causing excess H+ and hypoxia resulting in the anaerobic respiration of lactic acid. The excess H+ bind with HCO3-, decreasing the [HCO3-].
Mixed acidosis
6 of 15
A condition which causes type 2 respiratory failure due to difficulty in delivering air to the lower airways
Chronic bronchitis
7 of 15
A condition which causes type 1 respiratory failure due to thickening of the diffusion barrier
Fibrosis
8 of 15
Changes in starlings forces can increase the amount of this fluid which limits inflation of the lungs, resulting in hypoventilation (type 2) or V-Q mismatch (type 1)
Pleural fluid
9 of 15
This condition means you are unable to generate distending pressures, possibly leading to respiratory failure
Muscular dystrophy
10 of 15
An autoimmune disease which stops muscle from contracting properly, leading to respiratory failure in some cases
Myasthenia gravis
11 of 15
A syndrome which causes the loss of movement and sensation due to a viral infection which can cause hypoventilation and possible type 2 respiratory failure
Guillain Barre
12 of 15
This can cause difficulty breathing due to a loss of innervation to the diaphragm which can lead to type 2 respiratory failure
Spinal cord transection
13 of 15
A CNS depressant drug class which can cause hypoventilation and type 2 respiratory failure
Barbiturates
14 of 15
A scenario where oxygen therapy should not be used when treating hypoxemia
