ACUTE HYPERCAPNIC RESPIRATORY FAILURE Pathophysiology and causes
NIV is an effective strategy in specific settings and in selected population with AHRF. To date, evidence on ECCO2R is based only on case reports and case-control trials. Although the preliminary results using ECCO2R to decrease the rate of NIV failure and to wean hypercapnic patients from invasive ventilation are remarkable; further randomized studies are needed to assess the effects of this t...
متن کاملHypercapnic respiratory failure due to L-tryptophan-induced eosinophilic polymyositis.
A 24-year-old man presenting with fever, rash, and myalgias subsequently developed hypercapnic respiratory failure and severe limb muscle weakness. Muscle biopsy revealed eosinophilic myositis, due to the ingestion of large quantities of L-tryptophan as a dietary supplement. Complete recovery occurred with corticosteroid administration. Significant involvement of the respiratory muscles can be ...
متن کاملAdult‐onset Pompe's disease presenting with insidious hypercapnic respiratory failure
Orthopnoea is commonly attributed to heart failure but can be caused by diaphragm weakness, which, when severe, is often associated with hypercapnic respiratory failure. Bilateral diaphragm weakness is generally due to systemic nerve or muscle disease and usually occurs in the setting of severe generalized muscle weakness, but the diaphragm can be the initial or only muscle involved. Here, we r...
متن کاملHypercapnic respiratory failure in COPD patients: response to therapy.
INTRODUCTION The clinical course of patients with acute exacerbations of underlying COPD presenting with hypercapnic respiratory failure was reviewed. METHODS This was a retrospective review of 138 episodes of hypercapnic respiratory failure (PaCO(2) > or = 50 mm Hg and pH < or = 7.35). Patients were admitted to the West Los Angeles VAMC Medical Intensive Care Unit between 1990 and 1994. RE...
متن کاملShrinking the room for invasive ventilation in hypercapnic respiratory failure
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) was introduced as an alternative to invasive mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure caused from exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the 1980s, and its use gradually rose worldwide. Seventy-eight patients (57 males, mean age 78.3 ± 9.2 years) undergoing NIV were evaluated. Of them, 48 (62.3%) had acute hypercapnic respiratory fail...
