Does anyone think Respiratory distress should redirect here (rather than to respiratory distress syndrome)? -- JVinocur 01:29, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I thought that respiratory distress was just difficulty breathing ie dyspnoea and that respiratory failure is the specific 'respiration resulting in Po2 less than 8kPa' anyone clear up?
I removed the following list, because it attempts to be exhaustive while failing to do so. Perhaps a table with lots of references?
Any good sources that might help here? JFW | T@lk 14:58, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am a fourth-year medical student participating in a Wikiproject Medicine course at the UCF College of Medicine. The objective of this course is to edit, update, and expand a current article related to medicine. I have included a workplan of my intended changes below:
Background section: This section only has 1 source and has limited information. I hope to improve this section by adding quality sources and expanding the section's content. In particular, I hope to use this source:https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24835-respiratory-failure to add information regarding the major categories of respiratory failure: respiratory failure due to shock, perioperative respiratory failure, hypercapnic respiratory failure, and hypoxemic respiratory failure.
Cause: This section currently does not have a single reference/citation/source. I therefore hope to improve this section by adding some references.
Type 3: This section does not have any references/sources and is very limited without much information. I therefore plan to improve this section by adding a few sources and also expanding upon the text to provide additional information about Type 3 respiratory failure for readers.
NEW SECTIONS I PLAN TO WRITE FROM SCRATCH:
Symptoms and Signs: The Wiki page currently lacks sections on symptoms and signs of respiratory failure. I hope to address this deficit by adding information regarding clinical history, symptoms, and physical examination, and imaging findings (radiography, ultrasonography, pulse oximetry, capnometry) findings. I will base my content for this section on this source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK526127/.
Prognosis: The Wiki page currently lacks information about prognostic indicators for patients with respiratory failure. I hope to write a section about this based on information from this source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK526127/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Courseaccount333 (talk • contribs) 23:20, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
