What is the ICD 9 code for impending respiratory failure?
Impending respiratory failure
What does hypercarbic respiratory failure?
Acute respiratory failure with high carbon dioxide levels
What is respiratory decompensation?
acute respiratory failure.
What is the condition where the lungs tissue collapses?
The condition where the lung tissue collapses is called atelectasis. This occurs when alveoli in the lungs deflate, leading to reduced gas exchange and potential respiratory issues. Atelectasis can be caused by various factors such as blockage of airways, pressure on the lungs, or underlying lung diseases.
How can atelectasis lead to pneumonia?
In atelectasis the area available for gas exchange is reduced. As the alveoli decrease in number. The risk of developing pneumonia increases as fluids tend to increase and waste accumulates in the lungs leading to potential infection Any time respiratory effort decreases one runs the risk of increasing complications of the respiratory system
What causes bibasilar atelectasis?
Mild bibasilar atelectasis is a condition where part or the entire lung collapses. It is due to an obstruction or blockage that results in the prevention of the respiratory exchange of dioxide and oxygen.
What other respiratory complication can occur due to atelectasis?
Shortness of breath, COPD, asthma, and low oxygen levels to the body requiring oxygen therapy.
What the common types of atelectasis?
Resorption atelectasis
What is posterior atelectasis?
what is bilateral posterior atelectasis of the lungs
What is difference between pneumothorax and atelectasis?
Atelectasis is a partial collapse of the lung caused by failure of the parenchymal (functional) lung tissue due to disease (i.e., COPD). Pneumothorax is the collapse of the lung due to mechanical causes (i.e., traumatic injury, violent coughing).
Childhood respiratory disease characterized by a barking cough?
croup
What is the short term effects for sars?
heart failure, respiratory failure, and liver failure, in extreme cases
