Acute respiratory failure

2010
Acute respiratory failure is defined clinically by hypoxaemia (PaO2 <8 kPa, normal range 10–13.3 kPa) with (type 2) or without (type 1) hypercapnia (PaCO2 >6.5 kPa). It is one of the most common problems afflicting the severely ill patient and often necessitates intensive care unit admission....

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.

Sigh in Acute Respiratory Failure

2003
Mechanical ventilation, a cornerstone in the management of patients affected by acute respiratory failure, has undergone progressive and profound changes through the last 30 years. In the ’70s, tidal volumes (VT) as high as 10–15 ml/kg and elevated plateau pressures were routinely applied in patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress ...

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.

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.

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.
