\"The diagnosis of respiratory failure is usually based on alterations in arterial blood gases, however ABGs are not required to clinically diagnose acute respiratory failure. Although some cases of respiratory failure must be managed with mechanical ventilating support, the absence of mechanical ventilation does not preclude a diagnosis of respiratory failure. Respiratory \"failure\" and respiratory \"insufficiency\" have different code and DRG assignments, thus the terms should not be used interchangeably.\"
