	Inspection - Abnormal Respiratory Rates And Patterns
		Variation in respiratory rates and patterns in children and infants is a normal, healthy response to excitement, emotion or exertion.
		Respiratory rate is primarily controlled by the respiratory centers in the pons and medulla.
		Although the exam of the respiratory system is important when the chief complaint is an abnormal respiratory rate or pattern, emphasis should also be on the general survey, and gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and head and neck examinations.

	eMedicine - Respiratory Failure : Article by Margaret A Priestley, MD
		Respiratory failure develops when the rate of gas exchange between the atmosphere and blood is unable to match the body's metabolic demands.
		As a result, type I respiratory failure is characterized by arterial hypoxemia with normal or low arterial CO As an alternative, type II respiratory failure results from inadequate alveolar ventilation in relation to physiologic needs and is characterized by arterial hypercarbia and hypoxemia.
		Respiratory failure may be the sign of an irreversible progressive disease that leads to death (eg, idiopathic pulmonary hypertension).

	eMedicine - Respiratory Failure : Article by Sat Sharma, MD, FRCPC, FACP, FCCP, DABSM
		While acute respiratory failure is characterized by life-threatening derangements in arterial blood gases and acid-base status, the manifestations of chronic respiratory failure are less dramatic and may not be as readily apparent.
		Respiratory failure may be classified as hypoxemic or hypercapnic and may be either acute or chronic.
		Once respiratory failure is suspected on clinical grounds, arterial blood gas analysis should be performed to confirm the diagnosis and to assist in the distinction between acute and chronic forms.
