Case Summary

Respiratory failure is defined as the failure of the lungs or the pump system to adequately oxygenate the body and remove carbon dioxide. While many research articles on the topic exist, a significant portion is related to COVID-19. Respiratory failure can manifest as type 1 (hypoxemic) lung failure due to impaired gas exchange or type 2 (hypercapnic) pump failure resulting from muscle weakness or neurological impairment.
