Chest Trauma
In a few cases of acute MR, pulmonary edema localized in the right upper lobe has been reported.[circ.ahajournals.org]
[…] movement, mechanical respiratory dysfunction, and frequent respiratory failure. 75% of the cases are associated with pulmonary contusion, which produces an inflammatory response[medcraveonline.com]
Tracheal injury after blunt chest trauma is a rare but life-threatening condition. If diagnosed and treated early, the outcome is excellent.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pulmonary Edema
According to the etiology, edema may be localized (in inflammation or in impaired venous drainage) or systemic (in right heart failure or in nephrotic syndrome).[pathologyatlas.ro]
failure.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, invasive ventilation increases the risk for complications including nosocomial infections (pneumonia, sinusitis) and tracheal injury ( Gay 2009 ; Keenan 1997 ).[doi.org]
Contusion
The complications of pulmonary contusion are ARDS, as mentioned, and respiratory failure, atelectasis and pneumonia.[trauma.org]
Tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation may be necessary if there is difficulty in oxygenation or ventilation.[trauma.org]
Good tracheal toilet and pulmonary care is essential to minimise the incidence of pneumonia in this susceptible group.[trauma.org]
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
If you have trouble breathing, call your local emergency number (such as 911) or go to the emergency room.[nlm.nih.gov]
Peek GJ, Tirouvopaiti R, Firmin RK (2005) ECLS for adult respiratory failure: etiology and indications.[doi.org]
, pneumothorax (by placing pulmonary artery catheter), tracheal injury/stenosis (result of intubation and/or irritation by endotracheal tube Nutritional: malnutrition (catabolic[en.wikipedia.org]
Atypical Pneumonia
Tumescent anesthesia is an established and safe procedure in local analgesia when performed according to guidelines. Major adverse effects are rare.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It can lead to respiratory failure and death in some cases. How common is atypical pneumonia? Walking pneumonia is quite common.[my.clevelandclinic.org]
The respiratory equations are computed with PaO2 /FiO2 consistent with severe lung injury.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Acute Respiratory Failure
.- Pulmonary embolus, R to L shunt, Shock Diffusely white (opacified) CXR with hypoxemia and normocapnia - ARDS, NCPE, CHF, pulmonary fibrosis Localized infiltrate - pneumonia[mcgill.ca]
Hypoxemic respiratory failure is the commonest type of acute respiratory failure.[symptoma.com]

Angioedema
A general term for a vascular reaction of the deep dermis, subcutaneous or submucosal tissues, which corresponds to localized edema 2º to vasodilation and capillary permeability[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Additional treatments Intravenous epinephrine (1:10,000) should be used in patients who demonstrate upper airway obstruction, acute respiratory failure, or shock. [4] Aerosolized[emedicine.com]
The patient with a gun-shot wound to the jaw, the tracheal crush injury, the diabetic with Ludwig’s, and the case of severe angioedema all occur regularly in the airway nightmares[epmonthly.com]
Laryngeal Edema
As both these substances are known to cause metabolic acidosis, localized edema, erosion and sensitization of both the respiratory and alimentary tract.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the presence of respiratory failure, reintubation should be performed without delay.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If this is present look for subtle laryngeal and tracheal injury.[radiopaedia.org]
Tracheomalacia
[…] nerve palsies, laryngeal edema and tracheomalacia.[ijaweb.org]
Abstract Patients with Morquio syndrome can develop respiratory failure secondary to reduced chest wall compliance and airway collapse from irregularly shaped vocal cords[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Flaccidity of the trachea , due to injury or congenital defect, such that the tracheal passageway fails to stay open at its normal diameter, especially during inspiration[laryngopedia.com]
Spasmodic Croup
The local vasoconstriction in the subglottic mucosa produced by epinephrine can generate rapid improvement in symptoms.[hosppeds.aappublications.org]
A total score of 12 indicates impending respiratory failure.[en.wikipedia.org]
