Ans) 2) Abnormal gas exchange. Lung disease can lead to severe abnormalities in blood gas composition. Because of the differences in oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, impaired oxygen exchange is far more common than impaired carbon dioxide exchange.
3) Diseases and conditions that impair breathing can cause respiratory failure.When breathing is impaired, your lungs can't easily move oxygen into your blood and remove carbon dioxide from your blood (gas exchange). This can cause a low oxygen level or high carbon dioxide level, or both, in the blood.
4) Gas exchange in disease: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, and interstitial lung disease.
5) Other signs & symptoms:
- difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, especially when
active.
- coughing up mucous.
- wheezing.
- bluish tint to the skin, lips, or fingernails.
- rapid breathing.
- fatigue.
- anxiety.
