Respiratory failure occurs when the lungs cannot adequately oxygenate the blood or remove carbon dioxide, leading to a dangerous imbalance. This can result in hypoxia (insufficient oxygen) and hypercapnia (excess carbon dioxide), causing cellular damage and organ dysfunction. Without timely intervention, such as mechanical ventilation or other medical support, the body's vital organs can fail, ultimately leading to death.
