Pulmonary tuberculosis with acute respiratory failure.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, prognoses and predictors of mortality of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) with acute respiratory failure (ARF), and to investigate the adjunctive use of corticosteroids in such cases. TB patients with ARF requiring mechanical ventilation (n = 90) were enrolled retrospectively during 1989-2006. The patients were ...
متن کاملPulmonary tuberculosis with acute respiratory failure: yet to be conquered.
In the current issue of the European Respiratory Journal, KIM et al. [1] nicely discuss a scarcely reported association between pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and acute respiratory failure (ARF). They conclude that this tuberculosis-related critical condition has a high mortality rate and is associated with risk factors predicting poor outcome. However, certain issues in the study require clarific...
متن کاملRespiratory failure in pulmonary tuberculosis.
Of 852 patients admitted to Cook County Hospital with bacteriologically-proved pulmonary tuberculosis, 16 suffered respiratory failure. Of these 16, 5 died and 11 recovered. On follow-up, the survivors demonstrated significant improvement in oxygenation, but continued to show a severe restrictive ventilatory defect. Our patients, unlike those in previous reports, did not show airway obstruction...
متن کاملAcute pulmonary fibrosis associated with respiratory failure.
We are pleased that our report (Chest 1984; 85:837-38) has prompted pulmonologists interested in fiberoptic bronchoscopy to describe experiences of a similar nature. Weissberg's ieport regarding the breakage of Pilling foreign body grasping forceps during rigid bronchoscopy is somewhat comparable to our experience, though the two mishaps occurred under different circumstances. The "intrinsic me...
متن کاملRespiratory response to CO2 in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in acute respiratory failure.
The aim of our study was to determine the importance of chemoreceptor stimulation by carbon dioxide in setting the level of ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in acute respiratory failure. We studied the ventilatory and mouth occlusion pressure (P0.1) responses to CO2 in 25 COPD patients under treatment for episodes of acute respiratory failure, and in 24 ...
