O2 CO2 O2 CO2 External respiration circulation Internal respiration
3
What is respiratory failure
Respiratory failure is a pathological process in which the external respiratory dysfunction leads to an abnormal decrease of arterial partial pressure of oxygen with or without carbon dioxide retention.
4
How to judge respiratory failure
(1)PaO2< 8kpa(60mmHg) (2)PaCO2> 6.6 kpa(50mmHg) Classification of RF: Hypoxemic (Group I, Type 1) RF—(1) Hypercapnic (Group I, Type 2) RF—(1)+(2)
5
Etiology and pathogenesis of RF
Ventilatory disorders Diffusion disorders Ventilation-perfusion imbalance Anatomic shunt
6
Etiology and Pathogenesis of RF (1)
Ventilatory disorder 1. Restrictive ventilatory disorders 2. Obstructive ventilatory disorders
7
Etiology and pathogenesis of RF (1)
Restrictive ventilatory disorders Paralysis of the respiratory muscles Decreased compliance of chest wall Decreased compliance of lungs Hydrothorax or pneumothorax
8
Etiology and pathogenesis of RF (1)
Obstructive Ventilatory disorders 1. Central airway obstruction 2. Peripheral airway obstruction
9
Central airway obstruction
Trachea Central airway obstruction Iso-pressure Bronchia Peripheral airway obstruction
10
Extrathoracic variable obstruction
Iso-pressure expiration inspiration
11
Intrathoracic variable obstruction
expiration inspiration

Ventilatory disorders
Blood gas Low PaO2 and High PaCO2
14
Etiology and pathogenesis of RF (2)
Area of alveolar-capillary membrane↓ Thickness of alveolar-capillary membrane ↑ Diffusion disorders Exchenge time ↓
15
Alveolar-capillary membrane
Surfactant O2 CO2 Alveolar epithelium Capillary endothelial cells
16
Diffusion disorders Blood gas Low PaO2 and Normal PaCO2
17
Etiology and Pathogenesis of RF (3)
Local hypoventilation VA/Q ↓(Ventilation/perfusion) Functional shunt Ventilation- perfusion imbalance Local hypoperfusion VA/Q ↑ Dead space-like ventilation
18
Ventilation-perfusion imbalance Nomal or low or high PaCO2
Blood gas Low PaO2 and Nomal or low or high PaCO2
19
Ventilation-perfusion imbalance
Functional shunt Blood gas Damaged lung Normal Whole lung V/Q <0.8 >0.8 =0.8 PaO2 ↓ ↓ ↑ ↑ ↓ CaO2 ↑ PaCO2 N CaCO2
20
Ventilation-perfusion imbalance
Dead space-like ventilation Blood gas Damaged lung Normal Whole lung V/Q >0.8 <0.8 =0.8 PaO2 ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ↓ CaO2 ↑ PaCO2 N CaCO2
21
Etiology and pathogenesis of RF (4)
Anatomic shunt Abnormal anatomic shunt Be not ventilated at all Pulmonary arterio-venous fistulas Pulmonary edema Atelectasis
22
Functional shunt and Anatomic shunt
No blood –gas exchange Applying O can’t increase PaO2 Functional shunt Blood –gas exchange decrease Applying O2 can increase PaO2
23
Anatomic shunt Blood gas Low PaO2
24
Adult/acute respiratory distress syndrome
ARDS Adult/acute respiratory distress syndrome
25
What is ARDS? ARDS is a common form of acute respiratory failure in adult that is characterized by dyspnea, hypoxia.
26
Recognition of ARDS History: Systemic or pulmonary insult
Chest radiograph: Diffuse pulmonary infiltrates Respiratory distress: Labored breathing, tachypnea Severe hypoxemia: Refractory to treatment with supplement of oxygen
27
Sequential development of ARDS
28
Pulmonary hypoperfusion
Trauma, shock, infection and other causative factors Pulmonary hypoperfusion and hypoxemia Platelet aggregation Damage to epithelium Mechanical obstruction Increased vascular permeability Release of vasoactive substances Leakage of fluid and plasma into lungs Stagnation of blood Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema or hemorrhage Decreased surfactant Alveolar filling Atelectasis Hypoxemia
29
Pathogenesis of ARDS
30
Complement activation
Stimulus Complement activation C5a Sequestration of neutrophils in lungs Arachidonic acid metabolites Lysosomal proteinase Active oxygen Epithelial and endothelial Cell damage Pulmonary vasoconstriction Increased pulmonary permeability Pulmonary hypertension Pulmonary edema
31
Pathophysiology of ARDS
32
alveolar-capillary membrane damage
Causative factors alveolar-capillary membrane damage inflammation Pulmonary edema Bronchia constriction Atelectasis Pulmonary vasoconstriction Microvascular thrombus Diffusion disorders Dead space ventilation Pulmonary shunt Hypoxemia
33
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
34
What is COPD? COPD is a kind of chronic obstructive ventilatory disorders caused by chronic bronchitis and emphysema
35
Pathophysiology of RF in COPD
36
COPD Respiratory Failure surfactant ↓ diffusion membrane↓
respiratory muscles failure Peripheral airway obstructed and convulsion diffusion membrane↓ underventilated or poor perfusion Obstructive ventilatory disorders Ventilation-Perfusion mismatching Restrictive ventilatory disorders Diffusion disorders Respiratory Failure
37
