  • Title: [Acute respiratory insufficiency in internal medicine].
    Author: Perruchoud A.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1979 Oct 20; 109(40):1498-502. PubMed ID: 392750.
    Abstract:
    The definition, causes and some pathophysiological aspects of acute respiratory failure are discussed and a systematic clinical workup for these patients is proposed. The clinical and functional parameters for intubation and artifical ventilation are described. Finally, some special problems of therapy in some diseases leading to acute respiratory failure are mentioned. The basic disease not only indicates the criteria for intubation but also determines modifications in ventilatory support.
