The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not fully understood.
Respiratory failure is the result of inadequate [[gas exchange]] in the [[pulmonary circulation]]. This could result from [[lung failure]] or [[pump failure]]. [[Lung failure]] which is failure of [[gas exchange]] results in [[hypoxemia]] (<PaO2) and [[pump failure]] which is [[Ventilation (physiology)|ventilatory]] failure would result in [[alveolar]] [[hypoventilation]] that causes [[hypercapnia]] (>PaCO2). Type I respiratory failure has a [[V/Q scan|V/Q]] mismatch that causes [[hypoxemia]]. Type II respiratory failure is caused by [[alveolar]] [[hypoventilation]] which results in [[hypercapnia]]. Type III respiratory failure occurs in the peri-operative period clinically progresses to Type I or Type II respiratory failure. Type IV respiratory failure results from an underlying [[Circulatory arrest|circulatory collapse]].

It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].

[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.

Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.

[Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].

The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].

The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.

Overview

Respiratory failure is the result of inadequate gas exchange in the pulmonary circulation. This could result from lung failure or pump failure. Lung failure which is failure of gas exchange results in hypoxemia (<PaO2) and pump failure which is ventilatory failure would result in alveolar hypoventilation that causes hypercapnia (>PaCO2). Type I respiratory failure has a V/Q mismatch that causes hypoxemia. Type II respiratory failure is caused by alveolar hypoventilation which results in hypercapnia. Type III respiratory failure occurs in the peri-operative period clinically progresses to Type I or Type II respiratory failure. Type IV respiratory failure results from an underlying circulatory collapse.
