For effective gas exchange to occur, alveoli must be ventilated and perfused.
Changes in the V/Q ratio can affect gas exchange and can contribute to hypoxemia.
The most common examples of obstructive disorders are COPD, asthma, and bronchiectasis.
The feature common to all is a decrease in the compliance of the lungs, the chest wall, or both.
Structural changes to the alveolar component of the alveolar-capillary interface, such as decreased surface area or increased thickness, may result in diffusion defects across the membrane.
Emboli may restrict blood flow in the pulmonary circulation, resulting in alveoli that are ventilated but not perfused; this results in an increased V/Q ratio and decreased gas exchange.
Alveolar hypoventilation increases the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). The alveolar gas equation demonstrates that an increase in PaCO2 causes a decrease in the alveolar partial pressure of oxygen (PAO2). In this situation, the A-a gradient is normal
In either situation, hypercapnia does not occur, as carbon dioxide diffuses more readily across the alveolar-capillary membrane than oxygen.
V/Q mismatch is the most common cause of Type 1 respiratory failure.
Unlike V/Q mismatch, true shunt does not improve with supplemental oxygen therapy.
A normal FVC makes restrictive disease unlikely. A decreased FEV1/FVC ratio indicates obstruction.
Restrictive disorders are characterized by a reduction in lung volume, specifically a TLC less than the lower limit of normal
In lung fibrosis, the thickening of lung tissue increases the alveolar wall thickness, decreasing DLCO.[3] DLCO is also decreased in emphysema, in this case, due to the destruction of alveoli decreasing the area for gas exchange.
Right to left shunts may further reduce PaO2 to cause hypoxemia and exhibit an increased A-a gradient. Diffusion problems may also lead to an increased A-a gradient
Treatment of respiratory failure should be directed towards the underlying cause while providing support with oxygenation and ventilation, if necessary.
oxygen therapy improves hypoxemia in diffusion deficits
If either type of respiratory failure is not identified and addressed early, it will become life-threatening and lead to respiratory arrest, coma, and death.
Patients with diffusion problems have more hypoxemia than hypercapnia
