    AbstractAcute respiratory failure can be diagnosed using clinical judgment and simple bedside measurement of physiologic function. Respiratory support is based on the pathophysiology of the disorder. Initial therapy is directed at correcting life-threatening hypercapnia, hypoxia, and acidosis. The final outcome is positively influenced by skillful intensive care and a team approach.
