A patient with thrombophlebitis of the femoral vein suddenly had shortness of breath, chest pain, cyanosis of the face, decreased arterial pressure. The frequency of respiratory movements is 40 per minute. Upon examination, the liver was enlarged and the jugular veins pulsated. PaCO₂ - 50 mmHg. PaO₂ - 55 mmHg.(in the norm 86 - 100 mm Hg) pH - 7.31 Questions: 5. Describe changes in blood gas composition and pH in the patient. 6. Why does the inhalation of 100% oxygen slightly increase the oxygenation of the blood in the case of this patient? 7. Give a definition of respiratory failure. Name its possible kinds.
