Falla respiratoria aguda: Hace 50 años, Hoy y Dentro de 50 años. Una revisión narrativa

Abstract

The management of acute respiratory failure may require, among other measures, airway control, mechanical ventilation, and hemodynamic stabilization. About 60% of critically ill patients will require some type of respiratory support. For these reasons, an understanding of respiratory pathophysiology is important. The aim of this review is to establish an up-to-date of the concepts and fundamentals for acute respiratory failure.
