Overview[edit | edit source]

Effective measures for the primary prevention of respiratory failure include control of primary illness that may lead to respiratory failure. In addition, the administration of influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations to patients at risk such as COPD and asthma patients is very important in preventing respiratory failure. Finally, smoking cessation will help to minimize the risk for respiratory failure.
