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.

Neonatal acute respiratory failure

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2000
Acute respiratory failure is the most common problem seen in the preterm and term infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units. In preterm infants, the most common cause of acute respiratory failure is respiratory distress syndrome caused by surfactant deficiency.

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.

Physiological Comparison of High-Flow Nasal Cannula and Helmet Noninvasive Ventilation in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure.

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2020
RATIONALE High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and helmet noninvasive ventilation (NIV) are used for the management of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. OBJECTIVES Physiological comparison of HFNC and helmet NIV in hypoxemic patients.

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.

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.

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 ...
