Abstract
Type 1 (hypoxemic) RF has a PaO2 < 60 mmHg with normal or subnormal PaCO2. In this type, the gas exchange is impaired at the level of the aveolo-capillary membrane. Examples of type I RF are carcinogenic or non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema and severe pneumonia. Type 2 (hypercapnic) RF has a PaCO2 > 50 mmHg. Hypoxemia is common, and it is due to respiratory pump failure. Also, respiratory failure is classified according to its onset, course, and duration into acute and chronic; acute (ARF) on top of chronic respiratory failure (CRF) [1].
期刊介绍：
The Open Respiratory Medicine Journal is an Open Access online journal, which publishes research articles, reviews/mini-reviews, letters and guest edited single topic issues in all important areas of experimental and clinical research in respiratory medicine. Topics covered include: -COPD- Occupational disorders, and the role of allergens and pollutants- Asthma- Allergy- Non-invasive ventilation- Therapeutic intervention- Lung cancer- Lung infections respiratory diseases- Therapeutic interventions- Adult and paediatric medicine- Cell biology. The Open Respiratory Medicine Journal, a peer reviewed journal, is an important and reliable source of current information on important recent developments in the field. The emphasis will be on publishing quality articles rapidly and making them freely available worldwide.
