Respiratory failure is caused by various reasonspulmonary ventilationAnd/or the ventilation function is seriously obstructed, so that effectivegas exchange, leading to hypoxia with (or without)Carbon dioxide retention, resulting in a series ofphysiological functionandMetabolic disorderClinical syndrome.In Haiping UniversitypressureBreathe indoor air under resting conditions and expel the heartAnatomical shuntAnd the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaOtwo)Less than 8kPa (60mmHg), or accompanied byPartial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCOtwo)If it is higher than 6.65kPa (50mmHg), it is respiratory failure (hereinafter referred to as respiratory failure).
Bronchitis, bronchospasm, foreign bodies, etc. block the airway, causing insufficient ventilation,Gas distributionUnevenness leads to imbalance of ventilation/blood flow ratio, hypoxia and carbon dioxide retention.
Such as thoracic trauma, surgical traumapneumothoraxandPleural effusionAnd affect thoracic activities andlungDirt expansion leads to ventilation reduction, inhaling gas unevenness and affecting ventilation function.
(1) PressArterial blood gasAnalysis and classification ① Type I respiratory failure hypoxia without COtwoRetention, or with COtwoDecrease (type I) is seen inVentilatory dysfunction(imbalance of ventilation/blood flow ratio, impairment of diffusion function and pulmonary arteriovenous shunt).② Type II respiratory failureO deficiency caused by insufficient alveolar ventilationtwoAnd COtwoRetention, simple insufficient ventilation, O deficiencytwoAnd COtwoThe degree of retention oftwoMore serious.Only increaseAlveolar ventilation, add if necessaryOxygen therapyTo correct.
(2) Classification by disease courseAccording to the course of disease, it can be divided into acute and chronic.Acute respiratory failure refers to the clinical manifestation of sudden respiratory failure caused by the above five categories of causes, which causes serious damage to ventilation or ventilation function, such asCerebrovascular accident、Drug poisoninginhibitionRespiratory center、Respiratory muscleParalysisPulmonary infarction、ARDSIf not rescued in time, the patient's life will be endangered.
Chronic respiratory failure is more common in chronic respiratory diseases, such asChronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Severepulmonary tuberculosisEtc., whichrespiratory function The damage gradually increased, although there was a lack of OtwoOr with COtwoRetention, but can still engage in daily activities through compensatory adaptation of the body.
Resting stateWhen aspirating airArterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaOtwo)<8.0Kpa (60mmHg) arterial blood partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCOtwo)>6.7Kpa (50mmHg) is type II respiratory failure, and simple decrease of arterial partial pressure of oxygen is type 1 respiratory failure
