thread_title:  Work Plan Update 

message: Hi, I am a medical student who will be taking part in WikiProject Medicine and contributing to the article. 
* I will prioritize expanding the on the definition, signs & symptoms, causes, and diagnosis of respiratory arrest
* I believe the article could benefit from additional medical references, therefore I will cite those with the information I add
* The Treatment section is listed as incomplete, so I will attempt to expand on this section 
* I plan to use Pub-Med to find systematic reviews on the subject, specifically on potential complications of respiratory arrest and underlying brain pathophysiology 
* I plan to use clinical textbooks via Access Medicine and Clinical Key to gather information on the definition, signs & symptoms, causes, and diagnosis of respiratory arrest
* I plan to use published guidelines for treatment via government sources and the American Heart Association 
* I will decide what particular signs, symptoms, diagnostic, and treatment information to include or exclude based on relevance to the topic as to give a solid level of detail but not delve too far into any one subsection of respiratory arrest. For example, some information related to respiratory arrest may be valid but further explained in a stand-alone article on that particular subject. I plan to add links to these separate Wikipedia articles as needed 
* I will be looking closely at what has been written so far as to not add redundant information
* I will avoid medical jargon and ensure that the information is easily readable and understandable to the general public, including having individuals who are not in the medical field proofread my work

message: Cardiac arrest does not solely include asystole; it also includes conditions such as ventricular fibrillation.
Is respiratory arrest defined analogously, such that it is not limited to apnea and instead also includes severe bradypnea or hypopnea that is insufficient to sustain life? The word "effectively" in the lede ("failure of the lungs to function effectively") seems to imply so, but I think this could be clarified further. How? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 07:38, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Distinguish from apnea 

message: You have added some good material to this article. A couple of specific suggestions:
* In general, WP articles can be improved with more but smaller paragraphs. You should apply this to the lead.
* The lead should only contain a summary of information in the rest of the article. Some of the material in the second paragraph may be better suited to a new section. See the Style Guide for a list of suggested sections for an article on Diseases or disorders or syndromes. For example, the explanation of how respiratory arrest differs from respiratory failure might be moved to a new section on Diagnosis.
* The article needs many more references. Every statement of fact needs to have a reference. Note that one sentence may have more than one statement of fact or one statement may be distributed in more than one sentence.
* Many wikilinks should be added to other articles.
Thank you for your feedback. I truly appreciate the edits that you are encouraging me to make. I improved my WP article with more but smaller paragraphs in the lead. I included the explanation of how respiratory arrest differs from respiratory failure in the lead, because we talked in our meeting how it is important to establish the differences between the two. Otherwise, they might be mistaken for the same thing. It is important to inform the readers on why respiratory arrest is different form respiratory failure and why respiratory arrest is an important topic to have its own wikipedia article. Thank you for the suggestion of adding more references. I added many references after each statement of facts. Generally, I used one citation per paragraph of 200 words. I also incorporated many more wiki links to all of my sections. Thank you for your input! It has greatly improved my article.
