Surgery Definition – How to classify respiratory failure?
There are two forms of respiratory failure which can be determined on the analysis of the blood gas.
Type 1 respiratory failure is associated with hypoxemia and presented with the partial pressure of the oxygen is less than 8 kPa and partial pressure of the carbon dioxide is more than 6kPa. Type I respiratory failure is cause by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, pneumonia, adult respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary edema and pulmonary embolism. Type 1 respiratory failure is associated with ventilation and perfusion mismatch.
Type 2 respiratory failure is associated with hypercapnia and presented with partial pressure of oxygen lesser than 8 kPa but the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is more than 6kPa.The common causes of type 2 respiratory failure include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, spinal cord injury, myasthenia gravis, phrenic nerve injury, brain injury, cerebrovascular accident and kyphoscoliosis. Type 2 respiratory failure is caused by hypoventilation.
