What is acute respiratory failure?
Any condition when respiratory activity is inadequate to maintain O2 uptake and CO2 clearance
What is a typical ABG for acute respiratory failure?
pH50torr
PaO2<60torr
What are the two types of acute respiratory failure?
- Hypoxic respiratory failure (type 1)

What is another name for hypercapnia respiratory failure (type 2)?
Hypoxic lung failure
What is hypercapnia respiratory failure (type 2)?
- Problem with respiratory muscles
