Acute respiratory failure is defined as the inability of the respiratory system to meet the oxygenation, ventilation, or metabolic requirements of the patient.
Respiratory failure is a clinical condition that happens when the respiratory system fails to maintain its main function, which is gas exchange, in which PaO2 is lower than 60 mmHg and/or PaCO2 is higher than 50 mmHg. Respiratory failure is classified according to blood gases abnormalities into type 1 and type 2.
Can you clarify this? A: We recommend a query for respiratory failure in these circumstances if not documented. O2 saturation (SpO2) < 91% on room air or P/F ratio < 300 on oxygen is a clear indicator of acute respiratory failure in patients who do not require continuous home O2.
