[edit] Respiratory failure vs. Respiratory distress

Does anyone think Respiratory distress should redirect here (rather than to respiratory distress syndrome)? -- JVinocur 01:29, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I thought that respiratory distress was just difficulty breathing ie dyspnoea and that respiratory failure is the specific 'respiration resulting in Po2 less than 8kPa' anyone clear up?
