Answer #1

Acute respiratory failure - Acute respiratory failure occurs when lungs can not work properly, It is a condition characterized by carbon dioxide retention, impaired gasses exchange or decrease oxygen concentration in the lungs.

It can easily be identified by Arterial blood gas investigation, The parameters will be - So2 will decrease, Po2 will decrease, Pco2 will increase.

Acute respiratory failure mainly occurs due to Sudden asthma attacks, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other injuries to lungs.

Management of Respiratory failure can be done by bronchodilator and may require positive pressure ventilation.

ARDS(Acute respiratory distress syndrome) - This is characterized by diffuse damage to alveoli resulted in severe infection. It may due to Acute respiratory failure, infection of lungs(Pneumonia, TB) and any direct external injury.

Management of Acute respiratory distress syndrome always involves in mechanical ventilation with antibiotics.
