Respiratory failure is a syndrome characterized by defective gas exchange due to inadequate function of the respiratory system. There is a failure to oxygenate blood (hypoxaemia) and/or eliminate carbon dioxide (hypercapnoea). Respiratory failure can develop over years when it is due to conditions such as kyphoscoliosis or motor neuron disease, or minutes in the case of an acute asthma attack or pneumothorax. In this context, respiratory failure is often called acute (e.g. asthma), chronic (e.g. kyphoscoliosis), or acute on chronic (kyphoscoliosis complicated by pneumonia). Chronic respiratory failure is characterized by compensatory mechanisms which aim to adjust the pH of the blood back to the normal physiological range and involve the retention of bicarbonate by the kidney. This topic covers the etiology of respiratory failure as well as signs, symptoms, diagnosis, investigations, prognosis, and treatment.
