Sumario:Fatal asthma is a rare and potentially fatal disease. This disease requires suitable treatment to achieve rehabilitation, especially when accompanied by other complications, such as a silent chest and severe bronchial spasm. A 36-year-old man presented with a 10-year history of asthma that broke out into persistent asthma attacks and cardiac arrest, and was accompanied by a silent chest for 18 hours. He recovered and was discharged without any sequelae after being treated by a ventilator, hormones, epinephrine, analgesics, sedation, and muscle relaxants. Comprehensive treatment with a ventilator, hormones, epinephrine, analgesics, sedation, and muscle relaxants has a good effect on fatal asthma combined with a silent chest.
