Abstract

Acute respiratory conditions represent a broad spectrum of disorders characterized by the sudden onset of symptoms that can significantly impair respiratory function. This review aims to elucidate the critical aspects of acute respiratory conditions, including their etiology, diagnostic methodologies, and management strategies. We explore common acute respiratory disorders such as acute bronchitis, pneumonia, influenza, exacerbations of chronic respiratory diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The article emphasizes the importance of timely and accurate diagnosis using clinical evaluation, imaging techniques, and microbiological tests. Management strategies, including pharmacological treatments and supportive care, are discussed in detail, highlighting the role of early intervention in improving patient outcomes. Additionally, the review addresses prognosis and long-term follow-up considerations. By synthesizing current knowledge and recent advancements in the field, this review seeks to enhance clinical practice and patient care for individuals affected by acute respiratory conditions.
