Abstract:
A 35 year old male patient with inhalation injury including 45% body surface area burn was transferred to the hospital. After 2 days of hospitalization lung protective ventilation was supported due to acute respiratory distress occurrence. Fifth day the patient suffered hypercapnea which was uncontrollable with mechanical ventilators. Interventional lung assist (iLA) was proceeded on the tenth day, and the patients hypercapnia symptom was compatible with lung protective ventilation at the time, but the patient eventually suffered death after 12 days of treatment and care in the hospital.
