Seizures related to severe hypophosphataemia induced by mechanical ventilation

J P Laaban et al. Intensive Care Med. 1990.

Abstract

A patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute respiratory failure developed grand mal seizures in the hours following onset of mechanical ventilation. These seizures were associated with an acute increase in arterial pH and were related to the occurrence of acute severe hypophosphataemia associated with recovery from respiratory acidosis.
