Patients with Cancer:Common reasons of ICU admission • Respiratory failure due to Cancer • After CTx & bone marrow transplant • Sepsis • Electrolite disorders (hyponatremia) • Pulmonary edema • Changes mental statatus • Acute airway obstructions • Side effects of medical treatment • Postoperative observation Paz H, Chest, 1993 Thomas A Br Med J 1988 Soares, M Chest 2007 Adam AK. ERJ, 2008
Cancer patients with high mortality rate • Bed restricted patients • Patients with paliative cancer teraphy • Mechanical ventilation requirment • High SOFA scores • Late stage lung cancer
