A

normal blood pH

but elevated

elevated pCO2

mild impairment of the lungs’ ability to remove carbon dioxide occurs over a long period of time,

19
Q

what causes chronic ventilation failure

A 
COPD
bronchiectasis
kyphoscoliosis

SOB

orthopnoea

ankle swelling

disturbed sleep

22
Q

what are some investigations of chronic ventilation failure

A

lung function

hypoventilation assessment

23
Q

what is the treatment of chronic ventilation failure

A

NIV

oxygen therapy

24
Q

what do you have to be carful of with oxygen therapy when treating someone with chronic ventilation failure

A

that you don’t stop the hypoxic drive

ie COPD

25
Q

what is NIV

A

non invasive ventilation

26
Q

how does NIV differ from CPAP

A

gives a bit of extra O2 and a bit of a push to help ventilate like doing CPR
