Acute Respiratory Failure

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2022
Respiratory failure is one of the most common reasons for hospitalization and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, and a diverse range of etiologies can precipitate it. Respiratory failure can result from various mechanisms such as hypoventilation, diffusion impairment, shunting, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, or a combination of those mentioned ...

Acute respiratory failure

Critical Care Medicine, 1976
There appears to be a great similarity between all of the various types of Adult Respiratory Distress Syndromes (ARDS) in that they are all characterized by progressively increasing interstitial edema in the lungs and a reduced functional residual capacity.

Acute Respiratory Failure

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1990
Pregnancy entails many unique physiologic changes that make the management of ARDS both challenging and unique. Most of these women are young and in excellent health before their acute injury, and their survival should exceed that of the general population who develop ARDS.

Acute respiratory failure in children

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2000
Recent studies in the treatment of acute respiratory failure in children have been targeted at reducing ventilator-induced lung injury, providing treatment adjuncts to mechanical ventilation, and assessing innovative therapies directed at immunomodulation.

ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE IN PREGNANCY

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1992
Acute respiratory failure in pregnancy is an important cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Causes include: ARDS, venous air embolism, beta-adrenergic tocolytic therapy, asthma, thromboembolic disease, pneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum.

Acute respiratory failure and ECMO

Critical Care Nurse, 1992
In recent years, we have experienced advances in treatments for severe ARDS. One that holds promise for these critically ill adult patients is ECMO, which can provide gas exchange and lung rest for the patient in severe reversible respiratory failure. Advances in ECMO techniques, appropriate patient selection and the development of heparinized tubing ...

Acute Respiratory Failure in Pregnancy

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996
Pregnancy increases the risk for respiratory failure from to numerous pulmonary diseases. Adult respiratory distress syndrome, aspiration, venous air embolism, asthma, thromboembolism, and heart disease are etiologies shared by non-pregnant women. However, their management is complicated by complex physiologic changes during pregnancy.

Acute and chronic respiratory failure

2014
Respiratory failure (RF) can be attributed to a plethora of neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) and manifests clinically in a multitude of overt or more subtle ways. The basic principles of pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of neurologic diseases and of RF apply concomitantly to this subset of patients.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1994
The term respiratory failure implies the inability to maintain either the normal delivery of oxygen to tissues or the normal removal of carbon dioxide from the tissues. There are actually three processes involved: the transfer of oxygen across the alveolus, the transport of tissues (by cardiac output), and the removal of carbon dioxide from the blood ...
