In this episode Andreia Trigo, Martin Lees and Craig Cook talk about Type 1 and type 2 respiratory failure. We’re going to discuss the difference between type 1 and type 2, which of these is most common in sedation practice, how to prevent it, how to detect it when it happens and what interventions we need to do when a patient presents with certain signs and symptoms.

And we still answer two questions from our listeners!
