The epidemiology of hypercapnic respiratory failure
Hypercapnic respiratory failure is a condition that is encountered commonly by many clinicians. It can occur in association with a range of respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic and neurological disorders, either alone or in combination. Most of the current literature is limited to case series …

EFFECTS OF ARTIFICIALLY - INDUCED INTRINSIC POSITIVE END - EXPIRATORY PRESSURE IN MECHANICALLY VENTILATED PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE.
… has been suggested that, in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF), relative to conventional mechanical ventilation with application of external positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPe), mechanical ventilation artificially inducing intrinsic PEEP (PEEPi) worsens arterial oxygen tension …

Patterns of acute kidney injury and functional outcome scores in pediatric patients hospitalized with acute respiratory failure
… outcomes of critically ill children with acute respiratory failure (ARF) and concurrent AKI. Objectives 1. Describe the frequency of AKI in children diagnosed with acute respiratory failure (ARF). 2. Determine association between AKI among children with ARF and worsened FS after PICU stay among …

Risk factors for prolonged ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presenting with acute respiratory failure
… to the Emergency Unit with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure often require invasive mechanical ventilation and subsequent admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). These patients are at an increased risk of prolonged and complicated ventilation and often experience weaning difficulties. …

Development and validation of a biomarker-based model to predict persistent hypoxemic respiratory failure among mechanically ventilated adults
Background. Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF) requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is a common and morbid condition, but treatment is largely supportive and most pharmacologic trials have been negative. The early clinical trajectory is heterogeneous, with most patients resolving …

Outcomes of non-invasive ventilation HIV positive patients with Sepsis and respiratory failure presenting to the adult medical emergency unit of the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia
… Method: Results: Conclusion Sepsis due to respiratory disease is one of the main complications of HIV/AIDS. Audit data from the Department of Internal Medicine at the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia indicate that pneumonia and tuberculosis in HIV represent two of the four …

High flow nasal oxygen in resource constrained, non-intensive care high care wards for COVID-19 acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure: comparing outcomes of first versus third waves
… for severe COVID-19 related acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF) especially where limited access to intensive care unit (ICU) resources exists, and approximately halves the need for invasive mechanical ventilation. Objectives: To determine if treatment outcomes would be better in the …

A European survey of Non- Invasive Ventilation (NIV)
… 4 common clinical scenarios: Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure (AHRF), Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema (CPE), de novo hypoxic respiratory failure, Weaning/Post-extubation failure (W/PE). A response was obtained from 272/530 (51.3%) selected European physicians involved in NIV practice. NIV …

Exploration of the Linkage between the A:a gradient and oxygen transfer efficiency as a measure of response to treatment with inhaled nitric oxide in a heterogenous group of newborns treated for acute hypoxic respiratory failure
Acute hypoxic respiratory failure, (AHRF) is a severe condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in neonates. While much is known about the treatment for AHRF, less is understood about the types or degree of physiological shunting which occurs in this condition. Therefore, the …

The respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn : studies of blood gases and acid/base balance with the object of formulating principles of treatment
Respiratory failure accounts for a large, if not the largest, percentage of deaths during the first 48 hours of life. During the last ten years a great deal of research has been devoted to this early respiratory failure. The syndrome has been known by different names at different times; hyaline …

Respiratory Biomarkers in Kv1.1 Knockout Mice, a Model for Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
… of temporal lobe epilepsy and SUDEP. We reported respiratory abnormalities in KO mice using the methacholine (MCh) challenge, indicating that increased breathing rate, apnea and respiratory failure is associated with SUDEP. We have also found that the metabolic therapy, ketogenic diet (KD), …

Critical Illness in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies
… admission to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Acute respiratory failure is the most frequent reason for ICU admission in these patients. Existing knowledge gaps in the field include the lack of population-based estimates of the incidence and timing of ICU admission in these patients and the …

Hyaline membrane disease: a study of lung function and treatment
… that a significant number of infants die of respiratory failure but there is no general agreement concerning the changes of pulmonary function which lead to this stage. Two approaches have been used in the treatment of respiratory decompensation. First it has been proposed that blood gas and …

An evaluation of monitoring of respiratory physiological parameters in patients treated with non-invasive ventilation in the emergency department in Sligo University Hospital in Ireland
Background: Acute respiratory failure is becoming a frequent phenomenon in the emergency department due to increasing life expectancy, and in the last two decades the number of presentations has more than doubled. Non-invasive ventilation has become the treatment modality of choice in selected …

A description of premature and ex-premature infants admitted to a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit in the first six months of life
… (17.2%) infants died in PICU. Apnoea (39.4%), respiratory failure (24.2%) and shock (24.2%) were the commonest reasons for PICU admission, secondary to pneumonia (33.3%), sepsis (27.3%) and meningitis (12.1%). 72.4% of infants were mechanically ventilated and 48.3% received blood transfusions. …

The effects of mechanical ventilation on the development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung illness characterized by inflammation and fluid accumulation in the respiratory system. Historically, ARDS and other forms of respiratory failure have been treated using mechanical ventilation to help maintain gas exchange in the lungs. …

Respiratory distress in newborn infants
… death may be more commonly associated with failure of respiratory adaptation than with any other adaptational failure" (Smith, 1964). About two-thirds of all deaths in the newborn are associated with respiratory failure (Briggs and Nogg, 1958; Drissell and Smith, 1962). Hutchisen et al …

Aspects Of Pulmonary Surfactant Metabolism
… not to be GPC. (2) In many types of lung injury, respiratory failure is associated with alterations in pulmonary surfactant. Prolonged storage of a donor lung before transplantation leads to respiratory failure after reperfusion. Analysis of lung lavage after transplantation revealed several …

ANALYSIS OF PROTEASE ACTIVITY USING MEMBRANE- COATED BIOMIMETIC MICROSPHERES
… which is characterized by flaccid paralysis, respiratory failure, and death. BoNTs are the most acutely toxic substances on the planet, so detection at physiologically relevant concentrations is difficult. Because current treatments for botulism cannot reverse existing paralysis, rapid …
