[Clinical features of chronic respiratory insufficiency]
Abstract:
The etiology and location of chronic respiratory insufficiency and functional differential diagnosis of this disease are briefly discussed, viz. --central hypoventilation, --neurological and muscular respiratory failure. --cardiac causes of respiratory failure (pulmo cardialis), --respiratory insufficiency due to anatomical changes of passive structures, viz.: --malformations of the thorax (fibrothorax), --airway and lung tissue diseases, --malformations and diseases of the pulmonary vascular bed. Respiratory insufficiency means abnormality of O2 and/or CO2 partial pressures for which there are no reliable clinical signs. The absence of O2 and CO2 abnormalities in the various tissues of the human body obviously does not exclude diseases of the respiratory organs.
