Insuficiencia respiratoria aguda



Critical care in the ED: potentially fatal asthma and acute lung injury síndrome
Hodder R. Open Access Emergency Medicine 2012; 4: 53-68

 

"Abstract: Emergency department clinicians are frequently called upon to assess, diagnose, and stabilize patients who present with acute respiratory failure. This review describes a rapid initial approach to acute respiratory failure in adults, illustrated by two common examples: (1) an airway disease – acute potentially fatal asthma, and (2) a pulmonary parenchymal disease – acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome. As such patients are usually admitted to hospital, discussion will be focused on those initial management aspects most relevant to the emergency department clinician."
