What is Acute respiratory failure with hypercapnia?

Acute hypercapnic respiratory failure is usually caused by defects in the central nervous system, impairment of neuromuscular transmission, mechanical defect of the ribcage and fatigue of the respiratory muscles. The pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for chronic carbon dioxide retention are not yet clear.

Hypoxaemic respiratory failure is characterised by an arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) of <8 kPa (60 mm Hg) with normal or low arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2). Hypercapnic respiratory failure is the presence of a PaCO2 >6 kPa (45 mm Hg) and PaO2 <8 kPa.

How is hypercapnia diagnosis?

An arterial blood gas test is commonly used to diagnose hypercapnia. This test can assess the levels of oxygen and CO2 in your blood and make sure your oxygen pressure is normal. Your doctor may also test your breathing using spirometry.

What causes hypercapnia?

What Causes Hypercapnia? Hypercapnia occurs when the blood's CO2 level rises above normal due to respiratory problems, excessive metabolism, or more rarely, from breathing in too much CO2. The body produces CO2 as a byproduct of metabolism.
