Acute flattening of the diaphragm can occur in conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or severe Asthma exacerbations. These disorders can lead to increased intrathoracic pressure and impaired lung expansion, resulting in diaphragm dysfunction. Additionally, conditions like pneumonia or pleural effusion may cause similar changes due to altered lung mechanics and reduced lung volumes. Proper diagnosis and management are essential to address the underlying cause.

What is acute pulmonary edema?
Pulmonary edema is swelling in the lungs. The swelling is from fluid. The fluid causes the exchange of oxygen with co2 to become impaired. The result is hypoxia which is lack of oxygen in the blood.
What is a noncardiogenic pulmonary edema?
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema is a type of lung edema that occurs due to factors other than heart-related issues. It is often caused by factors such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), inhalation of toxic gases, severe infections, or trauma to the lung. This condition results in fluid accumulation in the lungs, leading to difficulty in breathing and decreased oxygen exchange.
What are the clinical signs of pulmonary edema?

A feeling of suffocating or drowning that worsens when lying down. A cough that produces frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood. Wheezing or gasping for breath.

What pulmonary disorder could lead to acute flattering of the diaphragm?
PNEUMONIA
What is the mortality rate in acute cases of pulmonary melioidosis?
The mortality rate in acute cases of pulmonary melioidosis is about 10%.
What position is best for client with acute pulmonary edema?
The best position for a client with acute pulmonary edema is typically sitting upright (orthopneic position) to help improve ventilation and oxygenation by reducing pressure on the diaphragm and increasing lung expansion. This position can also help reduce venous return to the heart and decrease the workload on the heart.
Is Diabetes mellitus an acute disorder?
Diabetes is not an acute disorder but is a chronic managable medical condition.
What causes diaphragm elevated?
Cysts, an infection or abscess, hematoma, or a tumor may be problems that are taking place below the diaphragm. these may be causing upward presure that elevate the diaphragm. Damage to the nerve that controls the diaphragm the (phrenic nerve) or infiltration of the diaphragm by lung cancer or similar tumors can also cause elevation of half of the diaphragm. lung collapse, lung fibrosis, painful pleurisy, pulmonary embolus, or a rib fracture may cause elevation of half of the diaphragm. If there is acute elevation of the entire diaphragm combined with paralysis of both of the phrenic nerves, sudden death may occur.
Is Cholecystitis acute?
The disorder can occur a single time (acute), or can recur multiple times (chronic).
What do acute surgical emergencies include?
invasive types of resuscitation for acute respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism and pulmonary obstructions blunt and penetrating head, chest, abdomen injuries, largely from automobile accidents and gun shot wounds
What causes acute dyspnea?
Most cases of acute dyspnea involve pulmonary (lung and breathing) disorders, cardiovascular disease, or chest trauma
What is the major difference between bipolar and acute stress disorder?
Bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance in the brain. The symptoms of bipolar disorder are characterized by changes of mood ranging from severe depression to a manic uncontrollable high. Acute stress disorder is the result of a psychological shock that stems from severe trauma.
What is acute disseminated encephalomyelitis?
