Sažetak
The aim of this article is to provide insight into the definition, causes, pathophysiology, etiology, assessment and treatment of acute respiratory failure in children. Diseases of the respiratory system are one of the most common reasons why children need medical assistance. It is defined by incapacity of physiological compensatory mechanisms to ensure sufficient oxygenation and removal of carbon dioxide. The most common causes of respiratory failure are diseases of the lung parenchyma, airway obstruction and neuromuscular dysfunction. The cessation of breathing in children usually precedes the cessation of the heart, therefore it is extremely important
to recognize the signs of initial respiratory failure and the speed of its deterioration with the simultaneous application of treatment procedures. Recently, significant success in treatment has been achieved with non-invasive ventilation.
