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....

Management of Respiratory Failure
Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2016The management of acute respiratory failure varies according to the etiology. A clear understanding of physiology of respiration and pathophysiological mechanisms of respiratory failure is mandatory for managing these patients. The extent of abnormality in arterial blood gas values is a result of the balance between the severity of disease and the ...

Extracorporeal Life Support for Adults With Respiratory Failure and Related Indications: A Review.
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2019Importance The substantial growth over the last decade in the use of extracorporeal life support for adults with acute respiratory failure reveals an enthusiasm for the technology not always consistent with the evidence. However, recent high-quality data,

Postoperative Respiratory Failure
Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2006This analysis differentiates the causes of postoperative respiratory failure. Respiratory failure in thoracic patients is broken down into two distinct groups, aspiration and pneumonia, promoting actions to prevent respiratory failure. The goal is to develop different strategies to avoid postoperative respiratory failure using an active approach (what ...

Respiratory Failure in Leptospirosis
QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 1989We report on four cases of leptospirosis with pulmonary manifestations as their presenting features. With adequate supportive therapy the prognosis is good. Leptospirosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary haemorrhage.

Resuscitation, 1974
Abstract A case of respiratory failure in a 53 year old man with a 22 year history of airway obstruction, who was admitted to an intensive care unit is reported. Three aspects of respiratory failure are illustrated by this case, the role of left heart failure in precipitating respiratory failure in chronic lung disease, the effect of muscle weakness ...

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1987
To the Editor.— In recent years, a great deal of attention has been paid to the findings that a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet can help decrease serum carbon dioxide levels in hypercapnic patients 1 and can decrease weaning time for patients who are mechanically ventilated.

Respiratory Failure in the Elderly
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1994Elderly patients are predisposed to respiratory failure because of physiological changes that occur with the aging process. These changes result in a loss of pulmonocardiac reserve and the relatively frequent need for mechanical ventilatory support. The management and weaning of elderly patients from mechanical ventilatory support is different from ...

Neurogenic respiratory failure
2013It is uncommon for the lungs to be primarily involved in neurological conditions but severe respiratory problems can arise indirectly. These are usually the result of disorders of central ventilatory control, respiratory muscle weakness, or bulbar involvement.
