Acute Respiratory Failure
Acute Respiratory Failure • Failure in one or both gas exchange functions: oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination • In practice: PaO2<60mmHg or PaCO2>46mmHg • Derangements in ABGs and acid-base status
Acute Respiratory Failure • Hypercapnic v Hypoxemic respiratory failure • ARDS and ALI
Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure PaCO2 >46mmHg Not compensation for metabolic alkalosis (PAO2 - PaO2) normal increased Alveolar Hypoventilation V/Q abnormality VCO2 Nl VCO2 PI max Central Hypoventilation Neuromuscular Problem Hypermetabolism Overfeeding V/Q Abnormality
The Case of Patient RV 71M s/p L AKA revision. PMH: CAD s/p CABG, COPD on home O2 and CPAP, DM, CVA, atrial fibrillation PACU: L pleural effusion, hypotension, altered mental status. Sent to ICU for monitoring. POD#1: RR overnight, intermittently hypoxic. BiPAP 40%: 7.34/65/63/35/+10 Preintubation: 7.28/91/81/43

Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure V/Q abnormality VCO2 Increased Aa gradient Nl VCO2 Hypermetabolism Overfeeding V/Q Abnormality • Increased dead space ventilation • advanced emphysema • PaCO2 when Vd/Vt >0.5 • Late feature of shunt-type • edema, infiltrates
Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure V/Q abnormality VCO2 Increased Aa gradient Nl VCO2 Hypermetabolism Overfeeding V/Q Abnormality • VCO2 only an issue in pts with ltd ability to eliminate CO2 • Overfeeding with carbohydrates generates more CO2

Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome • Severe ALI • B/L radiographic infiltrates • PaO2/FiO2 <200mmHg (ALI 201-300mmHg) • No e/o L Atrial P; PCWP<18
Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome • Develops ~4-48h • Persists days-wks • Diagnosis: • Distinguish from cardiogenic edema • History and risk factors
