Respiratory failure is a condition in which the respiratory system fails in one or both of its gas exchange functions. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients admitted to intensive care units. It is a result of either lung failure, resulting in hypoxemia, or pump failure, resulting in alveolar hypoventilation and hypercapnia. This article covers the basic lung anatomy, pathophysiology, and classification of respiratory failure.
呼吸衰竭是一种呼吸系统的气体交换功能一项或两项出现障碍的病症。它是重症监护病房患者发病和死亡的主要原因。它是由肺功能衰竭导致低氧血症，或泵功能衰竭导致肺泡通气不足和高碳酸血症引起的。本文涵盖了呼吸衰竭的基本肺部解剖、病理生理学和分类。
