The 13 pages that link to Respiratory failure, each with the reason it gives.

• Respiratory depressionBroader topic: It is a dangerous possible outcome when respiratory depression becomes severe.

• Pulmonary edemaNarrower topic: Extensive edema can overwhelm the lungs' ability to sustain gas exchange.

• Guillain–Barré syndromeRelated: Weakness of respiratory muscles can make breathing support urgently necessary.

• Arterial blood gas testRelated: Arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide values help identify and monitor its type.

• TetrodotoxinRelated: Severe poisoning can paralyze respiratory muscles and make ventilation necessary.

• BotulismRelated: Paralysis of respiratory muscles can make botulism fatal.

• AsbestosisRelated: Advanced lung damage can impair gas exchange enough to cause respiratory failure.

• BronchiectasisNarrower topic: Advanced lung disease can impair gas exchange, though this is not inevitable.

• TracheostomyRelated: Some people with respiratory failure need prolonged ventilatory support through a tracheostomy.

• AtelectasisNarrower topic: Extensive or severe collapse can contribute to respiratory failure, though most cases do not.

• AsphyxiaRelated: It describes a major physiological failure that can produce asphyxia.

• DyingBroader topic: Severe failure deprives tissues of oxygen and can lead to death.

• Respiratory tract infectionRelated: Severe infection can disrupt lung function enough to cause respiratory failure.
