Acute respiratory failure when it occurs can be either hypoxemic or hypersonic. As we just covered acute respiratory failure in class today there will be a text in some time. The quiz below is designed to check what we have covered and help you note areas to polish up on. Give it a try and all the best!
Fluids shift into the alveoli, the alveoli and bronchii collapse, and lose lung compliance
The lung starts to repair itself; this is where the patient starts to get better or the condition deteriorates.
Fibrous tissue forms and lungs don't expand well; the effort to breathe increases O2 demand which causes more effort to breathe.
Rate this question:
Treatment-resistant hypoxemia
Refractory hypoxemia
Refractory Hemo-deoxygenation
Rate this question:
True
False
