Paciente de 54 años de sexo femenino con insuficiencia respiratoria aguda.

A descriptive study of a 54-year-old female patient with acute respiratory failure was carried out, in order to characterize them according to some variables of interest. The information was collected through the review application of the patient's medical records that were analyzed. An educational plan for the relatives of patients with Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) to apply home preventive measures, information on risk factors, warning signs and symptoms of respiratory infections to prevent or prevent acute respiratory failure and they can go to the doctor in time. The essential function of the respiratory system is to ensure that there are optimal levels of oxygen (O2) and adequate removal of carbon dioxide (CO2). For this gas exchange to be correct, the functions of the respiratory system must be carried out correctly. These functions are: ventilation (entry of air into the lungs), alveolar capillary diffusion (movement of O2 and CO2 between the pulmonary alveoli and blood) and blood perfusion (blood flow to the lungs). Any alteration in one or more of these functions causes a failure in the pulmonary gas exchange, which causes respiratory failure.
