Introducción: La insuficiencia respiratoria aguda durante el embarazo no es una causa frecuente de ingreso a la unidad de cuidados intensivos, pero sí puede generar alta mortalidad. Las adaptaciones que sufre el organismo en muchos de sus sistemas biológicos durante el embarazo, condicionan cambios en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de este trastorno en comparación con la población general. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión bibliográfica sobre el tema y resumir los principales aspectos fisiológicos a tener en cuenta por el personal de salud en contacto con esta población, con el fin de realizar un adecuado abordaje de los casos. Fuente de datos: se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica sistemática en la base de datos PubMed, SciELO y Google Académico desde el año 1998 hasta el año 2019. Conclusiones: El diagnóstico y tratamiento temprano de insuficiencia respiratoria aguda en la paciente embarazada es fundamental, debido a los cambios fisiológicos propios de la gestación, los cuales sumados a esta patología pueden concluir en un escenario catastrófico.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of using end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO) as a non-invasive substitute for partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO) in emergency department (ED) triage and follow-up, and to explore the potential of partial pressure of venous carbon dioxide (PvCO) as an alternative to PaCO.
Design: Prospective cross-sectional study.
Setting: Tertiary university hospital.

Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory polyneuropathy that can lead to respiratory failure. In this study, we evaluate early clinical risk factors for respiratory failure at the time of hospital admission.
Methods: We studied a retrospective cohort of patients with GBS admitted to a tertiary care center.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the patterns and outcomes of using combined non-invasive respiratory support (NIRS) in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) at an intensive care unit.
- The research found that patients switching from High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) to Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) experienced higher failure rates, while switching from NIV to HFNC led to improved respiratory status.
- The results suggest that specific switching strategies, like performing fewer transitions, can significantly influence patient mortality and length of hospital stay.

The usefulness of ultrasound for chest exploration was described in 1968. It was not until the 1990s, when its use became widespread in Intensive Care Units as a diagnostic, monitoring and procedural guide tool. The fact that it is a non-invasive tool, accessible at the bedside, with a sensitivity and specificity close to computerized tomography (CT) and with a short learning curve, have made it a mandatory technique in the management of critically ill patients.
