Chronic respiratory failure - what does this mean
Chronic respiratory failure occurs when the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, resulting in a decrease in oxygen in the bloodstream and an increase in carbon dioxide. common causes of chronic respiratory failure include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung diseases, neuromuscular diseases, and obesity hypoventilation syndrome.
What happens during the disease - chronic respiratory failure
Chronic respiratory failure is a condition in which the lungs are unable to adequately exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, resulting in an accumulation of carbon dioxide in the body. this can occur due to a variety of underlying causes, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, and neuromuscular diseases. in addition, the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, known as pulmonary edema, can also lead to chronic respiratory failure. in all cases, the inability of the lungs to adequately exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide leads to a decrease in oxygen levels in the body and an increase in carbon dioxide levels, resulting in the symptoms of chronic respiratory failure.
