respiratory arrest
Lungs cease functioning
Respiratory arrest is the cessation of breathing.
The lungs stop taking in air, and without intervention, death follows within minutes.
It differs from cardiac arrest, where the heart stops, though one often leads to the other.
The patient went into respiratory arrest and had to be resuscitated.
