Respiratory Failure with Mechanical Ventilation at Central & Northeastern PA Chambersburg
Respiratory failure occurs when breathing function is affected and can result in the improper function of the lungs. When your lungs fail, the level of oxygen in your blood becomes too low (aka hypoxemia) or the level of CO2 becomes too high (hypercapnia). Causes for respiratory failure include muscle weakness, airway obstruction, lung disease, abnormal chest wall, and weak breathing. When respiratory failure is severe, patients are unable to breathe on their own and must rely on a mechanical ventilator. A ventilator is a machine that pumps oxygen into a tube, the other end of which is inserted into the patient's airway. The longer one is on a ventilator, the more likely the chances of lung scarring.
