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, 1963AMIPHENAZOLE (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, 1994A 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,

Pathophysiology of Chronic Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure
Sleep Medicine ClinicsChronic hypercapnic respiratory failure occurs in several conditions associated with hypoventilation. The mechanisms underlying the development of chronic hypercapnia include a combination of processes that increase metabolic CO2 production, reduce minute ventilation (V'e), or increase dead space fraction (Vd/Vt).

Acute on Chronic Respiratory Failure
JAMA, 1989Patients with acute on chronic respiratory failure exhibit severe pulmonary impairment as a baseline characteristic. Additional minor insults can precipitate cardiopulmonary failure that requires hospital admission and possibly mechanical ventilation. Our approach to these patients emphasizes evaluation of the imbalance between neuromuscular competence
