Severe community-acquired pneumonia with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to primary infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae in a previously healthy adult.
Community-acquired pneumonia due to Chlamydia pneumoniae is associated with a benign clinical course. Severe, life-threatening pneumonia is rare and occurs only in immunocompromised hosts. We report a case of severe pneumonia complicated by acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to primary infection with C. pneumoniae in a previously healthy 46-year-old woman.
متن کاملHypoxemic Respiratory Failure from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Secondary to Leptospirosis
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), characterized by hypoxemic respiratory failure, is associated with a mortality of 30-50% and is precipitated by both direct and indirect pulmonary insults. Treatment is largely supportive, consisting of lung protective ventilation and thereby necessitating Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission. The most common precipitant is community-acquired bacterial...
متن کاملFailure of Noninvasive Ventilation for De Novo Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure: Role of Tidal Volume.
OBJECTIVES A low or moderate expired tidal volume can be difficult to achieve during noninvasive ventilation for de novo acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (i.e., not due to exacerbation of chronic lung disease or cardiac failure). We assessed expired tidal volume and its association with noninvasive ventilation outcome. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Twenty-four bed unive...
متن کاملNIV-Helmet in Severe Hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Failure
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a method to be applied in acute respiratory failure, given the possibility of avoiding tracheal intubation and conventional ventilation. A previous healthy 5-month-old boy developed low-grade intermittent fever, flu-like symptoms, and dry cough for 3 days. On admission, he showed severe respiratory distress with SpO2/FiO2 ratio of 94. Subsequent evaluation ident...
متن کاملSwift recovery of severe acute hypoxemic respiratory failure under non-invasive ventilation.
BACKGROUND In the setting of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS; PaO2/FiO2 < 100), the cut-off point for switching from non-invasive ventilation to intubation combined to mechanical ventilation is poorly defined. RESULTS The swift resolution over 10 h of a severe acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (P/F = 57) caused by aspiration following heroin overdose, using non-invasive ven...
