Respiratory Failure

Respiratory MedicineCardio Thoracic Surgery

When someone experiences respiratory failure, they may exhibit symptoms like shortness of breath, rapid breathing, confusion, or bluish discoloration of the lips and fingertips. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to ensure proper oxygenation. This condition can be a medical emergency requiring immediate attention.

Treatment

High-flow Oxygen	A high-flow oxygen nasal cannula provides a slight pressure during a patient's exhalation to help expand the lungs and facilitate the removal of carbon dioxide.
Non-Invasive Ventilation	This technique delivers oxygen and air pressure through a mask or nasal tube to maintain adequate oxygen levels and support breathing without the need for invasive procedures like intubation.

Non-invasive ventilation can assist in reducing the work of breathing and improving oxygen exchange. In addition to non-invasive ventilation, other treatments may include addressing the underlying cause of respiratory failure, providing supplemental oxygen, administering medications to alleviate inflammation or congestion, and ensuring proper fluid balance.
