Talk:Respiratory failure

I removed the following list, because it attempts to be exhaustive while failing to do so. Perhaps a table with lots of references?

• Pulmonary dysfunction
  • Asthma
  • Emphysema
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
  • Pneumonia
  • Pneumothorax
  • Pulmonary contusion^[1]
  • Hemothorax
  • Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a specific and life-threatening type of respiratory failure.
  • Cystic Fibrosis
• Cardiac dysfunction
  • Pulmonary edema
  • Cerebrovascular Accident
  • Arrhythmia
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Valve pathology
• Other
  • Fatigue due to prolonged tachypnoea in metabolic acidosis
  • Intoxication with drugs (e.g., morphine, benzodiazepines, alcohol) that suppress respiration.
  • Neurological Disease
  • Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis
  • Jameson's Mamba bite

Any good sources that might help here? JFW | T@lk 14:58, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I am a fourth-year medical student participating in a Wikiproject Medicine course at the UCF College of Medicine. The objective of this course is to edit, update, and expand a current article related to medicine. I have included a workplan of my intended changes below:

Background section: This section only has 1 source and has limited information. I hope to improve this section by adding quality sources and expanding the section's content. In particular, I hope to use this source:https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24835-respiratory-failure to add information regarding the major categories of respiratory failure: respiratory failure due to shock, perioperative respiratory failure, hypercapnic respiratory failure, and hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Cause: This section currently does not have a single reference/citation/source. I therefore hope to improve this section by adding some references.

Type 3: This section does not have any references/sources and is very limited without much information. I therefore plan to improve this section by adding a few sources and also expanding upon the text to provide additional information about Type 3 respiratory failure for readers.

NEW SECTIONS I PLAN TO WRITE FROM SCRATCH:

Symptoms and Signs: The Wiki page currently lacks sections on symptoms and signs of respiratory failure. I hope to address this deficit by adding information regarding clinical history, symptoms, and physical examination, and imaging findings (radiography, ultrasonography, pulse oximetry, capnometry) findings. I will base my content for this section on this source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK526127/.

Prognosis: The Wiki page currently lacks information about prognostic indicators for patients with respiratory failure. I hope to write a section about this based on information from this source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK526127/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Courseaccount333 (talk • contribs) 23:20, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
