Chronic respiratory failure

Chronic respiratory failure

Chronic respiratory failure is a condition characterized by the inability of the respiratory system to adequately meet the body's demand for oxygen and/or eliminate carbon dioxide over an extended period of time. This can result from various chronic respiratory diseases that progressively impair lung function. It is often associated with conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease, neuromuscular disorders, and obesity hypoventilation syndrome.
