ABSTRACT
The physiopathology of respiratory accident will be discussed after a short summary of the respiratory system anatomy and its function at rest. The second part of this article will review the main reasons for respiratory deficiencies which are classified in four chapters: attack of the diaphragm attack of the wall attack of the respiratory tracts attack of the alveolo-capillary exchange The principal consequences, hypoxia and hypercapnia will be seen in the conclusion.

Angina pectoris results from an insufficient flow of oxygen to the myocardia cells. It is not an unusual complication in the dental office, the most frequent factors that trigger angina are: -stress, -pain, -exercise. The treatment consists in providing oxygen and vasodilators. Hypertension is characterized by an increase in the diastolic arterial blood pressure over 120 mmHg and by other clinical manifestations. Stress, pain, and exercise are the most frequent factors responsible for hypertensive disease. Hypertensive disease can lead to various complications ranging from a headache to myocardial infarct or hemiplegia. Treatment consists of different types of vasodilators.
