Research Notes on Respiratory Failure
Respiratory Failure is the inability of the lungs to transfer oxygen from inhaled air into the blood stream or to expel carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the air. Nearly any condition that affects breathing function can cause Respiratory Failure. Respiratory Failure is not a disease but the end result of many diseases. Respiratory Failure is diagnosed by measuring the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the arterial blood.
Fast Facts:
