1. Acute Respiratory Failure occurs when the: Answer oxygenation, ventilation or bothare inadequate 2. ARF is not considered a: Answer disease it is a symptom that reflects lung function 3. Hypoxemia causes a decrease in: Answer arterial O2 and saturation less than normalvalues 4. Inadequate removal of CO2 results in: Answer Hypercapnia 5. We classify ARF as: Answer Vhypoxemic or hypercapnic 6. Hypoxemic respiratory failure is a PaO2 less than: Answer 60mmhg when the patientis receiving an inspired O2 concentration of 60% 7. In hypoxemic respiratory failure (also called oxygenation failure) the mainproblem is: Answer inadequate exchange of 02 between the alveoli and pulmonary capillaries 8. Hypercapnic respiratory failure or (ventilatory failure) is a PaCO2 greaterthan: Answer 50mmhg with acidemia (arterial pH less than 7.35) The main problem is insufficient CO2 REMOVALThis causes the PaCO2 to be higher
