Zusammenfassung:Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) is an efficient technique used in the management of hypercapnic respiratory failure. Its application in mechanically ventilated patients has been studied for over 30 years. We describe a case of severe, acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) unresponsive to non-invasive ventilation (NIV), where initiation of ECCO2R was used effectively to prevent endotracheal intubation.
