Acute ventilatory failure and myoglobinuria

From Leicester General Hospital, Leicester, United Kingdom.

The prognosis of myoglobinuria is good even when acute renal failure occurs. We describe two patients who died from acute ventilatory failure due to myopathic involvement of the respiratory muscles. This rare complication of myoglobinuria has a high mortality despite ventilatory support.
