Respiratory failure in acute pancreatitis.

A K Banerjee 1, S J Haggie 1, R B Jones 1, G S Basran 1
PMCID: PMC2398144  PMID: 7644392

Abstract

There are a number of important pulmonary complications of acute pancreatitis which make a significant contribution to the morbidity and mortality of the condition. The pathophysiology and management guidelines are given for each and approaches towards better treatment in the future are discussed.
