چکیده

The mortality rate of severe respiratory failure in most centers remains 60% to 90% with conventional pulmonary support techniques. Recent advances in the physiologic management of patients with acute respiratory failure include optimizing systemic oxygen delivery as reflected by continuous mixed-venous saturation monitoring, avoidance of the damaging effects of high inflation pressures and volumes during mechanical ventilation, and the increasing application of extracorporeal life support techniques for refractory respiratory failure. The future promises the routine clinical application of novel support techniques including implantable intracorporeal gas exchange devices and perfluorocarbon liquid ventilation.

Early Effectiveness of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation on Right Ventricular Function in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Subjects with Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure

Introduction: Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has become an integral tool in the management of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study was performed to evaluate the early effects of NIPPV on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), serum N-terminal pro BNP (NT-proBNP), and ventilatory parameters in the COPD patients with...

Introduction:Guillain-Barre Syndrome(GBS) is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis. Respiratory failure is the most serious short-term complication of GBS and invasive mechanical ventilation is required in 30% of patients.moreover,60% of those who are intubated develop major complications including pnemonia,sepsis,GI bleeding and pulmonary embolism. Thus respiratory failure predictio...

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in a Patient With Suspected Influenza: A Case Report

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical syndrome consisting of tachypnea, refractory hypoxemia, and diffuse opacities on chest radiographs after infection or trauma which ultimately leads to respiratory failure. The principles of treatment are based on patient care in ICU, mechanical ventilation and medical treatments. By using lower plateau, less tidal volume, higher positive ...
