AB  - Respiratory  failure  is  defined  as  inadequate  gas  exchange  due  to  malfunction  of  one  or  more  components  of  the  respiratory  system.  There  are  two  main  types  of  acute  respiratory  failure:  hypoxemic  and  hypercarbic.  Hypoxemic  respiratory  failure  is  defined  by  arterial  O2  saturation  <90%  while  receiving  an  increased  inspired  O2  fraction.  Acute  hypoxemic  respiratory  failure  can  result  from  pneumonia,  pulmonary  edema  (cardiogenic  or  noncardiogenic),  and  alveolar  hemorrhage.  Hypoxemia  results  from  ventilation-perfusion  mismatch  and  intrapulmonary  shunting.
