Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2003 Respiratory failure occurs due mainly either to lung failure resulting in hypoxaemia or pump failure resulting in alveolar hypoventilation and hypercapnia. Hypercapnic respiratory failure may be the result of mechanical defects, central nervous system depression, imbalance of energy demands and supplies and/or adaptation of central controllers ...

Medicine, 2004 The respiratory system has two principal purposes - to maintain adequate arterial Pao2, and to regulate arterial Paco2 and thereby maintain a stable acid-base state. Both are necessary to sustain normal tissue metabolism. Respiratory failure can be defined in two ways: •failure of oxygenation, resulting in Pao2 < 8.0 kPa•failure of ventilation ...
