Overview
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. This is a life-threatening condition with majority of patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
Common Causes
- Aspiration of gastric contents
- Drug overdoses e.g., Acetylsalicylic acid, narcotics
- Fat embolism
- Massive blood transfusion
- Near-drowning (fresh or salt water)
- Pancreatitis
- Pneumonia
- Sepsis (gram-positive/gram-negative bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites)
- Severe trauma
