RESPIRATORY FAILURE: DEFINITION

By: Dr Izharul Hasan | 2010-10-17 | Diseases and Conditions
There is no precise clinical definition of respiratory failure; the diagnosis rests on the interpretation of arterial blood gas measurements. A patient can be said to be in respiratory failure if the arterial oxygen tension (-Pao2) falls below 8.0 kPa/60 mmHg (normal range 11.3-13.3kPa or85-100mmHg) or if the arterial carbon dioxide tension(Paco2) rises above 6.6kPa/50mmHg (normal range4.6-6.0kPa or 35-45 mmHg), when the subject is at sealevel, awake and breathing air. read more
