Acute respiratory failure
Definitions • acute respiratory failure occurs when: – pulmonary system is no longer able to meet the metabolic demands of the body • hypoxaemic respiratory failure: – Pa. O 2 60 mm. Hg when breathing room air • hypercapnic respiratory failure: – Pa. CO 2 50 mm. Hg k. Pa
Basic respiratory physiology
CO 2
Oxygen in • Depends on – PAO 2 – Diffusing capacity – Ventilation – Perfusion – Ventilation-perfusion matching
Oxygen Carbon dioxide Water vapour Nitrogen

Oxygen in • Depends on – PAO 2 • F IO 2 • Alveolar pressure • PACO 2 • Ventilation – Ventilation-perfusion matching – Perfusion – Diffusing capacity
Ventilation-perfusion matching
No. of lung units V/Q relationships 1 Ventilation: perfusion ratio
Carbon dioxide out • Largely dependent on alveolar ventilation • Anatomical dead space constant but physiological dead space depends on ventilation-perfusion matching
Carbon dioxide out • Respiratory rate • Tidal volume • Ventilation-perfusion matching
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology • Low inspired Po 2 • Hypoventilation • Ventilation-perfusion mismatch – Shunting – Dead space ventilation • Diffusion abnormality

Respiratory monitoring
Clinical • Respiratory compensation • Sympathetic stimulation • Tissue hypoxia • Haemoglobin desaturation
Clinical • Respiratory compensation – Tachypnoea – Accessory muscles – Recesssion – Nasal flaring • Sympathetic stimulation • Tissue hypoxia • Haemoglobin desaturation
Clinical • Respiratory compensation • Sympathetic stimulation – HR – BP (early) – sweating • Tissue hypoxia • Haemoglobin desaturation
Clinical • Respiratory compensation • Sympathetic stimulation • Tissue hypoxia – Altered mental state – HR and BP (late) • Haemoglobin desaturation
Clinical • Respiratory compensation • Sympathetic stimulation • Tissue hypoxia • Haemoglobin desaturation – cyanosis
Pulse oximetry Hb saturation (%) 90 60 Pa. O 2 (mm. Hg)
Oxygen delivery
Sources of error • • Poor peripheral perfusion Poorly adherent/positioned probe False nails or nail varnish Lipaemia Bright ambient light Excessive motion Carboxyhaemoglobin or methaemoglobin

Summary • worry if • RR > 30/min (or < 8/min) • unable to speak 1/2 sentence without pausing • agitated, confused or comatose • cyanosed or Sp. O 2 < 90% • deteriorating despite therapy • remember • normal Sp. O 2 does not mean severe ventilatory problems are not present
Treatment
Treatment • Treat the cause • Supportive treatment – Oxygen therapy – CPAP – Mechanical ventilation
Oxygen therapy • Progressive hypercarbia due to loss of hypoxic drive is RARE • Hypoxia KILLS • The appropriate response to progressive hypercarbia is assisted ventilation NOT removal of oxygen
Oxygen therapy • Fixed performance devices • Variable performance devices
Variable performance device 30 37% O 2 Flow 6 l/min O 2 6 0 Time
Variable performance device 24 l/min air 30 37% O 2 6 l/min O 2 Flow 6 0 Time
Fixed performance device 60% O 2 30 l/min 60% O 2 15 l/min air 100% O 2 15 l/min
Other devices • Bag valve resuscitator
Other devices • Reservoir face mask
CPAP • reduces shunt by recruiting partially collapsed alveoli
Lung compliance and FRC Volume • reduces work of breathing Pressure
Mechanical ventilation • Decision to ventilate – Complex – Multifactorial – No simple rules
