What is Respiratory failure (types I and II)

Condition analysis:
Respiratory failure is a disease of the lungs. The respiratory system basically consists of a gas exchanging organ (the lungs) and a ventilatory pump (respiratory muscles and the thorax). Either or both of these can fail and cause respiratory failure. Respiratory failure occurs when gas echange at the lungs is sufficiently impaired to cause a drop in blood levels of oxgyen (hypoxaemia); this may occur with or without an increase in carbon dioxide levels. The definition of respiratory failure is PaO27kPa (55mmHg). Respiratory failure is divided into type I and type II.

-- Type I respiratory failure involves low oxygen, and normal or low carbon dioxide levels.
-- Type II respiratory failure involves low oxygen, with high carbon dioxide.
