00:00 So let's wrap up this video series. 00:03 Respiratory failure is a syndrome where the respiratory system fails to perform adequate oxygenation and/or the removal of carbon dioxide. 00:13 Type 1 respiratory failure is hypoxemic respiratory failure, type 2 is hypercapnic or elevated CO2 level. 00:22 Respiratory failure can be caused by any condition that affects the lungs directly or the muscles, nerves, bones or tissues that support breathing can also cause respiratory failure. 00:32 The end outcome for respiratory failure depends. 00:36 It depends on the severity of its underlying cause, how quickly treatment begins and the patient's overall health. 00:43 The top priorities for treatment are to correct the hypoxemia, and resolve the underlying cause of the respiratory failure. 00:51 Thanks for watching our video today.
