Type II respiratory failure is generally accompanied by hypoxemia and hypercapnia. Low-flow continuous oxygen should be given in time to keep the patient's respiratory tract unobstructed. Respiratory stimulants can also be given to promote carbon dioxide excretion in the body and correct the phenomenon of water electrolyte disorder and acid-base balance disorder. If severe breathing difficulties occur, mechanical ventilation should be prepared to correct the patient's hypoxia and improve type II respiratory failure.
