Signs and symptoms of respiratory failure may include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, and air hunger (feeling like you can't breathe in enough air). In severe cases, signs and symptoms may include a bluish color on your skin, lips, and fingernails; confusion; and sleepiness .
Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is severe arterial hypoxemia that is refractory to supplemental oxygen. What does hypoxic respiratory failure mean? Hypoxemic respiratory failure means that you don’t have enough oxygen in your blood, but your levels of carbon dioxide are close to normal. Can you recover from acute respiratory failure?
ICD-10 code J96. 01 for Acute respiratory failure with hypoxia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
If you aren't getting enough oxygen into your blood, your doctor will call this hypoxemic or type 1 respiratory failure. If you have too much carbon dioxide, it's called hypercapnic, hypercarbic, or type 2 respiratory failure. Acute respiratory failure comes on quickly, and it's an emergency.

Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is severe arterial hypoxemia that is refractory to supplemental oxygen.
Introduction. Hypercarbia is defined by an increase in carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. Though there are multiple causes for hypercarbia, the body is usually able to compensate if the respiratory drive and lung function are not compromised.
Hypercapnia (from the Greek hyper = "above" or "too much" and kapnos = "smoke"), also known as hypercarbia and CO2 retention, is a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood.
