Acute Respiratory Failure in Pregnancy

Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2010
The maternal respiratory tract undergoes significant anatomic and physiologic changes during pregnancy, which increase maternal susceptibility to respiratory failure. Respiratory failure in pregnancy is relatively rare, but it remains one of the leading conditions requiring intensive care unit admission in pregnancy and carries a high risk of maternal ...

Complications of Acute Respiratory Failure

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1983
Acute respiratory failure is frequently fatal. Attempts to decrease mortality must include attention to pulmonary and extrapulmonary complications. Pulmonary complications include pulmonary emboli, barotrauma, fibrosis, and pneumonia. Swan-Ganz catheters, tracheal intubation, and mechanical ventilation can also result in pulmonary complications.

Tracheostomy for Acute Respiratory Failure

Diseases of the Chest, 1966
SUMMARY The effects of tracheostomy were evaluated in 17 patients moribund due to severe respiratory failure. When tracheostomy was added to the previous therapy, which included intermittent positive pressure breathing, there was dramatic improvement in their condition.

Classification of Acute Respiratory Failure

Medical Clinics of North America, 1983
Acute respiratory failure can result from a wide variety of etiologies. Hypoxemia is the hallmark of this condition and is responsible for the major clinical signs and symptoms. The use of arterial blood gas analysis is the cornerstone of diagnosis and is also critical in the subsequent evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy.

Respiratory failure in acute pancreatitis

Intensive Care Medicine, 1977
Marked respiratory insufficiency was established in 20 of 91 patients with acute pancreatitis. 16 of them died, 12 from uncontrollable hypoxaemia. At postmortem the most prominent finding was microatelectasis, the occurrence of which correlated highly with the serum amylase activity.

Complications of acute respiratory failure

Postgraduate Medicine, 1986
Many complications can occur during the management of acute respiratory failure and may involve multiple organs. Some of these complications can be avoided by preventive measures. We find evaluation of serial chest roentgenograms extremely useful for the early detection of several complications (figure 4).

Acute Respiratory Failure in Pregnancy

Critical Care Clinics
Respiratory failure may affect up to 1 in 500 pregnancies, due to pregnancy-specific conditions, conditions aggravated by the pregnant state, or other causes. Management during pregnancy is influenced by altered maternal physiology, and the presence of a fetus influencing imaging, and drug therapy choices.
