Talk:Respiratory failure

message: Does anyone think Respiratory distress should redirect here (rather than to respiratory distress syndrome)?  -- JVinocur 01:29, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, respiratory distress is a symptom of respiratory failure but may also be encountered in other conditions such as metabolic acidosis. JFW | T@lk 14:58, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Respiratory failure vs. Respiratory distress 

message: 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
**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)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: WikiProject Medicine Fall 2023 UCF COM

message: 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)
