SignSymptom infobox Name Respiratory arrest ICD10 ICD10 R 09 2 r 00 ICD9 ICD9 799.1 Respiratory arrest, is the cessation of normal respiratory system respiration due to failure of the lungs to contract effectively. A respiratory arrest is different from but may be caused by a cardiac arrest , where the heart muscles fail to contract properly Respiratory arrest prevents delivery of oxygen to the body. Lack of oxygen to the brain causes loss of consciousness . Brain injury is likely if respiratory arrest goes untreated for more than three minutes, and death is almost certain if left untreated for more than five minutes. For the best chance of survival and recovery, immediate and decisive treatment is imperative. Respiratory arrest is a medical emergency that, in certain situations, is potentially reversible if treated early. The treatment for respiratory is artificial ventilation .

Upper respiratory tract infection s are probably the most common infections in the world. Most of the respiratory tract exists merely as a piping system for air to travel in the lungs, and alveoli are the only part of the lung that exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide with the blood . Moving down the respiratory tract starting at the trachea, the tubes get smaller and divide into more and more tubes. There are estimated to be about 20 to 23 divisions, ending up at an alveolus. Even though the cross sectional area of each bronchus or bronchiole is smaller, because there are so many, the total surface area is larger. This means there is less resistance at the terminal bronchioles. Most resistance is around the 3 4 division from the trachea due to turbulence.

The four most common invertebrate respiratory pigments are hemoglobin, haemocyanin , hemerythrin haemerythrin and chlorocruorin . Hemoglobin is bright red when oxygenated, and dark red purplish when deoxygenated, oxygenated haemocyanin is blue in color, deoxygenated is almost colorless.

unreferenced date December 2010 The respiratory center RC is located in the medulla oblongata , which is the lowermost part of the brain stem . The RC receives controlling signals of neural, chemical and hormonal nature and controls the rate and depth of respiratory movements of the diaphragm and other respiratory muscles. Injury to this center may lead to central respiratory failure , which necessitates mechanical ventilation usually the prognosis is grave. In healthy individuals the presence of elevated carbon dioxide levels in the blood is the stimulant that the RC responds to in order to signal the respiratory muscles to breathe. Chemoreceptors found in carotid and aortic bodies are responsible for detecting this CO2 . Individuals who suffer from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease usually have a chronically elevated level of carbon dioxide present in their blood due to their diminished lung function. As a result, their specific chemoreceptors become desensitised to the hypercapnia and instead respond to a decreased amount of oxygen present. The groups of nerve cells in the brain which regulates the respiration rhythmically are collectively known as respiratory centers. Groups Respiratory centre is divided four major groups Inspiratory centre Dorsal respiratory group Location Dorsal portion of medulla Nucleus Nucleus tractus solitarius Function causes inspiration while stimulated. Expiratory centre Ventral respiratory group Location Antero lateral part of medulla, about 5 mm anterior and lateral to dorsal respiratory group Nucleus Nucleus ambiguous and nucleus retro ambiguous.

Types There are two types of respiratory alkalosis chronic medicine chronic and acute medicine acute . Acute respiratory alkalosis occurs rapidly. During acute respiratory alkalosis, the person may lose consciousness where the rate of ventilation will resume to normal. Chronic respiratory alkalosis is a more long standing condition. For every 10 mM drop in pCO sub 2 sub in blood, there is a corresponding 5 mM of bicarbonate ion drop. The drop of 5 mM of bicarbonate ion is a compensation effect which reduces the alkalosis effect of the drop in pCO sub 2 sub in blood. This is termed metabolic compensation.
