Overview
A positive history of sudden onset of shortness of breath, trauma to the neck or thorax and change in mental status is suggestive of respiratory failure. Common symptoms of respiratory failure include tachypnea , stridor and dyspnea. Less common symptoms of respiratory failure include anxiety, headache, and asterixis.
