Question 1

po2 level of hypoxic respiratory failure

Answer 1

decreased partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) levels below 60 mmHg or pulse oxygenation below 91% on room air

Question 2

pCO2 level of hypercapnic respiratory failure

Answer 2

elevated partial pressure of carbon dioxide (>50 mmHg/ pH below 7.25)

Question 3

ABG findings and supplemental oxygen usage for acute respiratory failure

Answer 3

pH <7.35, pH >7.45
pCO2 >50mmHg
pO2 <60mmHg

O2 at room air: <90%
O2 with supplemental oxygen: <95%

Question 4

True or False: Acute respiratory failure may be assigned as a PDX when it is the condition established after study to be chiefly responsible for occasioning the admission to the hospital.

Answer 4

True
