A prospective study of acute hypoxic respiratory failure

RH Bartlett, AH Morris, HB Fairley, R Hirsch, N O'Connor and H Pontoppidan

A prospective study of acute hypoxic respiratory failure was carried out by nine centers in a collaborative NIH study from 1 September 1975 to 1 March 1977. Serious hypoxic respiratory failure was defined in 713 patients by the presence of (1) endotracheal intubation and positive airway pressure for at least 24 hours, and (2) the administration of at least 50 percent oxygen. The 490 patients between 12 to 65 years of age had a mortality of 61 percent. Mortality increased with increasing organ failure: one organ system failure (lung only) 40 percent; two, 54 percent; three, 72 percent; four, 84 percent, five, 100 percent. Only 103 patients died with isolated lung failure, whereas 353 died of a combination of lung and other organ failures. Both the overall mortality (66 percent) and the mortality of those with only isolated lung failure (40 percent) were much higher than anticipated for the selection criteria.
