This text discusses the mechanisms and classification of hypoxia and respiratory failure, including factors affecting oxygenation and ventilation, as well as the consequences and consequences of these conditions. It also explores the various mechanisms responsible for gas exchange disturbances.

Classification of hypoxia (1) • Hypotonic hypoxemic hypoxia - PaO2, CaO2;Q . Hb . ( SaO2 – SvO2) - carotid body stimulation, hyperventilation - pulmonary hypertension in chronic form - respiratory failure 2.Izotonic hypoxemic hypoxia - normal PaO2, CaO2; Q . Hb . ( SaO2 – SvO2) - chemoreceptors are not stimulated, lack of dyspnea - anemia, carboxyhemoglobin

Classification of hypoxia (2) 3. Hypoextractive hypoxia - increased Hb afinity to O2 -Q . Hb . (SaO2 – SvO2) 100 released O2 SaO2, % 50 pH = 7,4; t = 37 °C pH 7,4; t 37 °C 6 14 PaO2, kPa
Classification of hypoxia 3 4. Hypocirculatory hypoxia - Q . Hb . (SaO2 – SvO2) - ischemic, congestive; local, general 5. Overutilization hypoxia - demand of tissues for O2 excesses the available supply - angina pectoris, epilepsy (fatigue and cerebral depression) 6. Histotoxic hypoxia - disturbed ATP production, blocked oxidative phosphorylation - Q . Hb . (SaO2 – SvO2) - cyanide
Respiratory failure - definition Syndrome characterized by disturbed exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in lung Consequences: PaO2 60 mmHg (8.0 kPa) with or without PaCO2 > 50 mmHg (6.7 kPa) - under resting condition - breathing atmospheric air at sea level Classification: 1. Hypoxemic (hypoxemia with normal or PaCO2) 2. Hypercapnic (hypoxemia and hypercapnia)
Respiratory failure Factors determining oxygenation and ventilation are different PaCO2 must be regarded as a function of the overall ventilation of the entire lung, without regard to local inequalities of distribution of ventilation and perfusion PaO2, on the other hand, depends not only on the amount of alveolar ventilation but also on the matching of ventilation and perfusion
Respiratory failure Mechanisms responsible for gas exchange disturbances A. intrinsic lung disorders (airways, lung parenchyma) 1. Ventilation/perfusion (V´/Q´) mismatch 2. Venous admixture 3. Diffusion impairment B. extrinsic lung disorders (respiratory centre, nerve pathways, respiratory muscles, thoracic cage, pleural space) 1. Alveolar hypoventilation (overall)

Respiratory failure Mechanisms of hypoxemia 1. alveolar hypoventilation 2. compartments with low V´/Q´ ratio 3. right-to-left shunting of blood in compartments with zero V´/Q´ratio 4. diffusion impairment due to thickening of the alveolar-capillary membrane

Respiratory failure Mechanisms enhancing hypoxemia Pure oxygen breathing: hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction resorptive atelectasis ( PAN2, resorption of O2) central inspiratory drive
Respiratory failure Mechanisms of hypercapnia 1. overall alveolar hypoventilation 2. critical amount of the compartments with low V´/Q´ ratio overall ventilation must increase to maintain effective alveolar ventilation (normal CO2 exchange) limits of effective alveolar ventilation: work of breathing respiratory muscle fatigue dead space ventilation
