Respiratory Failure Management

Respiratory failure occurs when the lungs can't supply enough oxygen to the body or remove carbon dioxide effectively. Managing it involves identifying the cause, like infection or lung disease, and providing treatments to improve breathing. This may include administering oxygen, using ventilators to assist or control breathing, and medications to open airways or treat infections. Continuous monitoring is essential to adjust treatment as needed. In severe cases, procedures may be performed to help with lung function. The goal is to stabilize the patient's condition and restore proper respiratory function.
