Relationships between ventilatory impairment, sleep hypoventilation and type 2 respiratory failure
Published 2014“…Conditions that increase load on respiratory muscles and/or reduce their capacity to cope with this load predispose to type 2 (hypercapnic) respiratory failure. In its milder forms, this imbalance between load and capacity may primarily manifest as sleep hypoventilation which, if untreated, can increase the likelihood of wakeful respiratory failure. …”

Prescription Opioid Fatalities: Examining Why the Healer Could be the Culprit
Published 2018“…Analgesia from opioids leads to loss of this protective mechanism, leading to increased risk of death due to respiratory failure. Increased patient counseling during opioid prescribing and dispensing, and limiting prescription to short-term use in non-malignant pain, may decrease the adverse effects of opioids. …”
