Respiratory Failure Respiratory failure is a deterioration of the gas exchange function of the lungs (Hinkle & Cheever, 2014). The lungs are not able to provide adequate oxygenation or ventilation for the blood. Respiratory failure is caused by impaired ventilation or perfusion mechanism in the lungs.
Colon Cancer Colon cancer arises from the epithelial lining of the intestine. It may start as a benign polyp and become malignant. “It will invade and destroy normal tissue and extend into surrounding structures” (Hinkle & Cheever, 2014). The cancer may spread to other parts of the body; for example, the liver, peritoneum, and lungs.
Hypertension
Hypertension occurs when there is an increase in cardiac output or total peripheral resistance,
