AB  - Respiratory  failure  is  a  condition  in  which  the  respiratory  system  fails  in  one  or  both  of  its  gas-exchanging  functions;  that  is,  oxygenation  of,  and  carbon  dioxide  elimination  from,  mixed  venous  (pulmonary  arterial)  blood.  Hence,  respiratory  failure  is  a  syndrome  rather  than  a  disease.  Many  diseases  result  in  respiratory  failure,  as  discussed  elsewhere  in  this  volume.
