Abstract
Technological advances in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and emerging evidence that it improves survival in adults with reversible respiratory failure compared to conventional ventilation has lead to increased utilization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in adults, usually in the context of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Refractory status asthmaticus is an uncommon indication for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. We present a case of near fatal respiratory failure and hypercapnia in a 48-year-old male in status asthmaticus not responsive to optimal ventilatory treatment. The use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation resulted in full recovery with return of normal respiratory function within nine days.
