Acute and chronic respiratory failure
2014Respiratory 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, 1992In 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 ...

Classification of Acute Respiratory Failure
Medical Clinics of North America, 1983Acute 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.

Acute Respiratory Failure in Pregnancy
Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2010The 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 ...

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1994The 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 ...

Acute Respiratory Failure in Pregnancy
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1996Pregnancy 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.

Respiratory failure in acute pancreatitis
Intensive Care Medicine, 1977Marked 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, 1986Many 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).
