acute on chronic liver failureCOVID‐19SARS‐CoV‐2The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) is a highly infectious viral disease that predominantly causes respiratory symptoms. Elevated liver enzymes have been reported during the course of disease and appear to be ...
Patients with acute on chronic respiratory failure exhibit severe pulmonary impairment as a baseline characteristic. Additional minor insults can precipitate cardiopulmonary failure that requires hospital admission and possibly mechanical ventilation. Our approach to these patients emphasizes evaluation of the imb...

Controlled administration of oxygen is the cornerstone of “conservative” treatment for acute respiratory failure in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease. As little as a 4 to 10 percent increase in inspired oxygen concentration usually will raise arterial oxygen pressure to an acceptable level...
Even in the absence of malignancy, acute and chronic respiratory failure have a high burden on patients, their families, and the health care system. In general the number of cases of acute respiratory failure is on the rise. In 2009 there were 1,917,910 cases of ARF in the United States...
Timing: respiratory failure within 1 week of a known insult or new and/or worsening respiratory symptoms Origin: respiratory failure not fully explained by cardiac function or volume overload (need objective criterion such as echocardiography to exclude hydrostatic oedema if no risk factor is present...
