Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a multifactorial and serious disorder with a high mortality in all age groups. With the advances in extracorporeal membraneous oxygenators, treatment involving oxygenation through a membrane and lung protective mechanical ventilation is becoming widespread. We present management of acute respiratory distress syndrome due to serious thoracic injury following fall from height. The patient received ECMO treatment due to persistent hypoxia for nine days, and hypoxia resolved. Following a period of healing for one month, the tracheotomized patient was externed to the surgical ward.
