Central Neurogenic Respiratory Failure: A Challenging Diagnosis
BACKGROUND Central nervous system lesions are rare causes of respiratory failure. Simple observation of the breathing pattern can help localize the lesion, but the examiner needs to be aware of potential pitfalls such as metabolic or pulmonary alterations. METHODS We describe 3 cases in which central neurogenic respiratory failure occurred simultaneously with other alterations or in an unusua...

متن کاملMyasthenia Gravis Presenting as Isolated Respiratory Failure: A Case Report
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is often complicated by respiratory failure, known as a myasthenic crisis. However, most of the patients who develop respiratory symptoms do so during the late course of disease and have other neurological signs and symptoms. However, in some patients respiratory failure is the initial presenting symptom. We report the case of a 68-year-old woman with MG who presented wit...
متن کاملRespiratory failure due to expiratory central airway collapse.
We report a patient with respiratory failure due to expiratory central airway collapse successfully treated with airway stents. A 74-year-old male with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea had recurrent episodes of acute respiratory failure. Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation failed because of patient intolerance and lack of improvement, and soon after he stopped using the noninvasive ven...
متن کامل[respiratory Failure].
Though the equation appears complex, it simply means that the oxygen tension in the alveoli is predominantly determined by the concentration of inspired oxygen, the barometric pressure and the carbon dioxide tension in the alveoli. Because carbon dioxide is very freely diffusible across the alveolar membrane, often arterial and alveolar carbon dioxide tension will be equal. That is why PaCO2 wh...
