Outcome after acute respiratory failure is more dependent on dysfunction in other vital organs than on the severity of the respiratory failure
... Our data demonstrate that the Pa O 2 /Fi O 2 ratio evolved simi- larly during the first week in the ICU in all patients with ARF, regardless of concomitant organ failure. After 7 days the groups diverged, with no ...
