Tools of data collection: Tool (1) Acute respiratory failure patient assessment sheet, Tool (2) outcomes of respiratory failure. Results: Risk factors of acute respiratory failure among critically ill patients in the above mentioned setting at Assuit University Hospital was 150 patients who exposed to respiratory failure. About that90.8%in the chest ICU groups were smoking and 76.7% were suffer from COPD but Injury of spine, brain or chest and smoking were the majority risk factors in the trauma ICU groups (50% and 43,3% respectively).
