Respiratory failure is a critical and life-threatening condition frequently encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is characterized by the respiratory system’s inability to maintain adequate gas exchange, leading to hypoxemia (low arterial oxygen), hypercapnia (elevated arterial carbon dioxide), or a combination of both. Patients may present with tachypnea, dyspnea, altered mental status, or overt signs of respiratory distress. Rapid identification of the underlying cause and prompt initiation of targeted interventions are essential to improve outcomes [1, 2].
