- Definition of acute respiratory failure. Acute respiratory failure is classified as hypoxemic (low. arterial oxygen levels), hypercapneic (elevated levels of car-. bon dioxide gas), or a combination of the two.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome Acute respiratory distress syndrome. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening lung condition that prevents enough oxygen from getting to the lungs and into the blood. Infants can also have respiratory distress syndrome. ARDS can be caused by any major direct or indirect injury to the lung.

- Acute renal failure is present in 1 to 5 percent of patients at hospital admission and affects up to 20 percent of patients in intensive care units.cute renal failure is an acute loss of kidney function that occurs over days to weeks and results in an inability to appropriately excrete nitrogenous wastes and creatinine. Electrolyte disturbances and loss of fluid homeostasis may occur.

Acute Kidney Injury Definition. Acute renal failure (ARF) is characterized by azotmeia that progresses over several hours or days, with or without oliguria. Recently, the term acute kidney injury (AKI) has been popularized to increase awareness of milder degrees of renal impairment and to better describe the underlying pathobiology. Azotemia, on the other hand, signifies the accumulation of nitrogenous waste (urea) and other solutes.

- Chronic, or long-term, respiratory failure is commonly caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), neuromuscular disease, or even morbid obesity. The signs and symptoms of respiratory failure differ depending on the severity and underlying cause. Acute respiratory failure occurs rapidly and can resolve with treatment. Chronic respiratory failure, on the other hand, is a progressive disease, which typically worsens over time. Symptoms of respiratory failure include difficulty breathing, cyanosis (blue or purple coloration of the skin), and lethargy. Treatment depends on the severity of the disease and may include oxygen support, bronchodilators, and ventilatory support.

- Respiratory (RES-pih-rah-tor-e) failure is a condition in which not enough oxygen passes from your lungs into your blood. Your body's organs, such as your heart and brain, need oxygen-rich blood to work well. Respiratory failure also can occur if your lungs can't properly remove carbon dioxide (a waste gas) from your blood.

Acute Respiratory Infection People with heart disease or other lung problems are more likely to contract an acute respiratory infection. Anyone whose immune system might be weakened by another disease is at risk. Smokers also are at high risk and have more trouble recovering.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a medical condition occurring in critically ill patients characterized by widespread inflammation in the lungs. ARDS is not a particular disease; rather, it is a clinical phenotype which may be triggered by various pathologies such as trauma, pneumonia and sepsis. The hallmark of ARDS is diffuse injury to cells which form the barrier of the microscopic air sacs of the lungs, surfactant dysfunction, activation of the innate immune system response, and dysfun

Respiratory Failure The signs and symptoms of acute respiratory failure reflect the underlying disease process and the associated hypoxemia or hypercapnia. Localized pulmonary findings reflecting the acute cause of hypoxemia (eg, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, asthma, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD]), may be readily apparent.he major GI complications associated with acute respiratory failure are hemorrhage, gastric distention, ileus, diarrhea, and pneumoperitoneum. Stress ulceration is common in patients with acute respiratory failure; the incidence can be reduced by routine use of antisecretory agents or mucosal protectants.

- Respiratory failure is the inability of the respiratory system to adequately supply fresh oxygen or remove carbon dioxide, resulting in low blood oxygen or high blood carbon dioxide levels, respectively. Multiple conditions can cause one or both of these problems. Acute or sudden respiratory failure can happen as the result of trauma, injury, drug or alcohol overdose, or inhalation of carbon monoxide. Chronic, or long-term, respiratory failure is commonly caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), neuromuscular disease, or even morbid obesity.

Acute Renal Failure Acute renal failure (ARF) refers to the abrupt loss of kidney function. Over a period of hours to a few days, the Glomerular filtration Rate (GFR) falls, accompanied by concomitant rise in serum creatinine and urea nitrogen. In the United States, the annual incidence of acute renal failure is 100 cases for every million people. 2  It’s diagnosed in 1% of hospital admissions. 3  Hospital-acquired acute renal failure occurs in 4% of all admitted patients and 20% of patients who are admitted to critical care units.

Acute viral infections Acute viral infections. An acute viral infection is characterized by rapid onset of disease, a relatively brief period of symptoms, and resolution within days. It is usually accompanied by early production of infectious virions and elimination of infection by the host immune system.n example of a classic acute infection is uncomplicated influenza. Virus particles are inhaled in droplets produced by sneezing or coughing, and begin replicating in ciliated columnar epithelial cells of the respiratory tract.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Diagnosis and Management Most cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome are associated with pneumonia or sepsis. It is estimated that 7.1 percent of all patients admitted to an intensive care unit and 16.1 percent of all patients on mechanical ventilation develop acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS, is a very serious lung problem that may happen when a person is critically ill. With ARDS, fluid fills the air sacs of both lungs. This causes the lungs to become swollen (inflamed). ARDS makes it hard to breathe. Acute lung injury (ALI) is similar to ARDS but not as serious as ARDS. ALI and ARDS can happen after: 1  Pneumonia. 2  Traumatic injuries, such as car accidents and severe burns. 3  An infection carried throughout the body known as “sepsis”. 4  Shock.

Acute liver failure Acute liver failure is defined as the rapid development of hepatocellular dysfunction, specifically coagulopathy and mental status changes (encephalopathy) in a patient without known prior liver disease.rom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Acute liver failure is the appearance of severe complications rapidly after the first signs of liver disease (such as jaundice), and indicates that the liver has sustained severe damage (loss of function of 80–90% of liver cells).
