Introduction: Hypercapnic respiratory failure (HRF) is one of the most frequent reasons for
intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. In this study, we aimed to investigate the risk factors for …

Purpose Hypercapnic respiratory failure (HRF) is a frequent cause of hospitalization and a
common comorbidity in hospitalized patients. There are few studies addressing what factors …

Background Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) improves immediate outcomes in patients
presenting with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF). A previous national audit 1 …

Abstract Background and Objective Hypercapnic respiratory failure (HRF) can occur due to
severe respiratory disease but also because of multiple coexistent causes. There are few …

Background There are limited data on outcomes of hypoxaemic respiratory failure (HRF),
especially in non‐intensive care unit (ICU) settings. Aim To assess outcomes in HRF …

Rationale: No methodical assessment of the lung, cardiac, and sleep function of patients
surviving an acute hypercapnic respiratory failure episode requiring admission to the …

Acute hypercapnic ventilatory failure is becoming more frequent in critically ill patients.
Hypercapnia is the elevation in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) above 45 …

Purpose To analyze the relationship between hypercapnia developing within the first 48 h
after the start of mechanical ventilation and outcome in patients with acute respiratory …

Aim: In this study, we aimed to analyze patients with a diagnosis of acute hypercapnic
respiratory failure (AHRF) who responded to noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) in …

Background: There are contradictory data as to whether hypercapnia improves or worsens
outcome. We evaluated the relationship between early hypercapnia (PaCO2> 60 mmHg …
