Respiratory Problems

      
   

 

      
     
  • Hypoxemia / low SpO2 (failure to oxygenate)
  • Hypercarbia – Respiratory acidosis (failure to ventilate)
  • Failure to protect the airway
  • Hyperventilation – respiratory alkalosis
  • Hypoventilation
  • Obstructed breathing pattern
  • Cheyne Stokes Breathing pattern
  • Metabolic acidosis
  • Metabolic alkalosis
  • Hemoptysis
  • Respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation
  • Failure to wean from mechanical ventilation
  • Dysynchrony from mechanical ventilator
