Chronic respiratory failure

2020
Abstract Chronic respiratory failure describes a clinical state when the arterial Po2 breathing air is less than 8.0 kPa, which may or may not be associated with hypercapnia (defined as Pco2 more than 6.0 kPa (45 mm Hg)). Four processes cause arterial hypoxaemia due to inefficient pulmonary gas exchange—ventilation–perfusion (V/Q ...

Chronic respiratory failure in bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2021
AbstractAlthough survival has improved dramatically for extremely preterm infants, those with the most severe forms of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) fail to improve in the neonatal period and go on to develop chronic respiratory failure. When careful weaning of respiratory support is not tolerated, the difficult decision of whether or not to pursue ...

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.

Chronic respiratory failure – pathophysiology

2020
Respiratory failure is a condition in which the respiratory system fails in one or both of its gas-exchanging functions – oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination. Although the causes of respiratory failure are diverse, they share common underlying mechanisms and management strategies for diagnosis and treatment.

Chronic Respiratory Failure and Neuromuscular Disease

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2009
The outlook for children with respiratory complications of neuromuscular disease has improved significantly in the past 15 years. This has been the result of many advances in clinical care, including improved monitoring of lung function and hypoventilation during sleep; coordinated respiratory care by experienced physicians with access to specialized ...

Chronic respiratory failure

1997
Abstract A 54-year-old delivery man was admitted to a medical ward with a 3-day history of breathlessness, wheeze, and cough with purulent sputum. He had smoked 25 cigarettes a day for 40 years, but had never previously been hospitalized for a respiratory problem. His only regular medication was inhaled salbutamol. Exercise tolerance was

Oral amiphenazole in chronic respiratory failure

British Journal of Diseases of the Chest, 1963
AMIPHENAZOLE (2 : 4-diamino-5-phenylthiazole hydrochloride) was shown by Shaw and Bentley (1952) to be one of several substances that antagonized the effect of morphine in depressing respiration. Since then there have been several reports of the efficacy of parenteral amiphenazole for this purpose (Fleming, 1958; Webber, 1958) and also of its value as ...

Glucose Intolerance in Chronic Respiratory Failure

Angiology, 1994
A 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed on 18 patients with chronic respiratory failure and without fasting hyperglycemia, positive urine glucose, or hepatic/pancreatic disorders. Underlying diseases in these patients were pulmonary emphysema (11 cases, 61%), pulmonary tuberculosis (5 cases, 28%), and chronic bronchial asthma (2 cases,
