We report a case of an adult patient with near-fatal asthma, who was implanted venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in an extern hospital before transfer to our tertiary center. After 13 days and various therapeutic approaches, including inhaled isoflurane therapy via an anesthetic-conserving device, the patient was decannulated and extubated 3 days later.
