Guide To The Causes Of Acute Respiratory Failure

Injury

An injury is another common cause of acute respiratory failure, and it can happen in many ways. Most of the injuries that cause an individual's breathing to become difficult include spinal cord and brain injuries. These can happen anywhere at any time. From a car accident to a sporting accident, it's not uncommon for this problem to occur without any warning. Other accidents can also injure individuals enough to affect their breathing, but brain injuries are the most common due to the fact it's the brain that tells the body to take breaths. Other injuries with the ability to affect an individual's breathing include chest injuries and rib injuries.
