Preferred Label : Respiratory Failure;
NCIt definition : The significant impairment of gas exchange within the lungs resulting in hypoxia,
hypercarbia, or both, to the extent that organ tissue perfusion is severely compromised.
Causes include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, emphysema, acute respiratory
distress syndrome, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax, and congestive heart
failure. Treatment requires intubation and mechanical ventilation until the time the
lungs recover sufficient function.;
Alternative definition : CTCAE: A disorder characterized by impaired gas exchange by the respiratory system
resulting in hypoxemia and a decrease in oxygenation of the tissues that may be associated
with an increase in arterial levels of carbon dioxide.; NICHD: The significant impairment of gas exchange resulting in hypoxia and/or hypercarbia,
to the extent that tissue oxygenation is severely compromised.; FDA: The significant impairment of gas exchange within the lungs resulting in hypoxia,
hypercarbia, or both, to the extent that organ tissue perfusion is severely compromised.;
