Description and Extensions

Description: NCI2016_NICHD_1602D:The significant impairment of gas exchange resulting in hypoxia and/or hypercarbia, to the extent that tissue oxygenation is severely compromised.|NCI2016_CTCAE_1602D:A disorder characterized by impaired gas exchange by the respiratory system resulting in hypoxemia and a decrease in oxygenation of the tissues that may be associated with an increase in arterial levels of carbon dioxide.|NCI2016_02D:The significant impairment of gas exchange within the lungs resulting in hypoxia, hypercarbia, or both, to the extent that organ tissue perfusion is severely compromised. Causes include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, emphysema, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax, and congestive heart failure. Treatment requires intubation and mechanical ventilation until the time the lungs recover sufficient function.|MEDLINEPLUS_20151021:Respiratory failure happens when not enough oxygen passes from your lungs into your blood. Your body's organs, such as your heart and brain, need oxygen-rich blood to work well. Respiratory failure also can happen if your lungs can't remove carbon dioxide (a waste gas) from your blood. Too much carbon dioxide in your blood can harm your body's organs. Diseases and conditions that affect your breathing can cause respiratory failure. Examples include <ul> <li><a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/lungdiseases.html'>Lung diseases</a> such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, and cystic fibrosis</li> <li>Conditions that affect the nerves and muscles that control breathing, such as spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy and stroke</li> <li>Damage to the tissues and ribs around the lungs. An injury to the chest can cause this damage.</li> <li>Drug or alcohol overdose</li> <li>Injuries from inhaling smoke or harmful fumes</li> </ul> Treatment for respiratory failure depends on whether the condition is acute (short-term) or chronic (ongoing) and how severe it is. It also depends on the underlying cause. You may receive <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/oxygentherapy.html'>oxygen therapy</a> and other treatment to help you breathe. NIH: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute|HPO2016_07_04:A severe form of respiratory insufficiency characterized by inadequate gas exchange such that the levels of oxygen or carbon dioxide cannot be maintained within normal limits. [HPO:probinson]|CSP2006:respiratory function fails to maintain adequate oxygen supply and carbon dioxide removal.
