ABSTRACT
Continuous negative abdominal pressure (CNAP) therapy effectively provides respiratory support in patients with respiratory failure and severe obesity; however, its use in clinical practice remains limited. In this case, we report a significant improvement in the respiratory condition of a patient with severe obesity and inhalation burns following the application of CNAP in addition to venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) and mechanical ventilation. The patient was able to wean off these devices successfully. This case highlights the potential of CNAP therapy as an adjunct treatment for severe respiratory failure, particularly in obese patients for whom conventional interventions are insufficient.
