DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000008248
Abstract: Rationale: Mechanical ventilation of severe acute asthma is still considered a challenging issue, mainly because of the gas trapping phenomenon with the potential for life-threatening barotraumatic pulmonary complications. Patient concerns: Herein, we describe 2 consecutive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40560-017-0247-7
Abstract: BackgroundNear-fatal asthma attacks are life threatening events that often require mechanical ventilation. Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) is, beside extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a well-established rescue option whenever ventilation gets to its limits. But there… read more here.
