[Acute respiratory insufficiency in patients with bronchopulmonary cancer].
Acute respiratory failure is relatively frequent in patients with bronchogenic cancer. The respiratory disorder may be related to tumor extension itself or opportunistic infection above or below the tumoral stenosis. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also be causal. The condition is particularly serious in patients with one lung. We discuss the different complications, their frequency and conditions of occurrence.
