• Arterial blood gas testRelated: Arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide values help identify and monitor its type.

• TetrodotoxinRelated: Severe poisoning can paralyze respiratory muscles and make ventilation necessary.

• BotulismRelated: Paralysis of respiratory muscles can make botulism fatal.

• AsbestosisRelated: Advanced lung damage can impair gas exchange enough to cause respiratory failure.

• TracheostomyRelated: Some people with respiratory failure need prolonged ventilatory support through a tracheostomy.

• AsphyxiaRelated: It describes a major physiological failure that can produce asphyxia.

• Respiratory tract infectionRelated: Severe infection can disrupt lung function enough to cause respiratory failure.
