Excessive dynamic airway collapse (EDAC) is a disease entity of excessive reduction of the central airway diameter during exhalation, without cartilage collapse. An 80-year-old female presented with generalized @entity4 and @entity1353 at our hospital. The @entity1 was in a state of acute decompensated @entity712 due to @entity55 with @entity1576 . We accordingly managed the @entity1 with renal replacement therapy, mechanical ventilation and antibiotics. Bronchoscopy confirmed the diagnosis of EDAC. We scheduled extubation after the improvement of @entity55 and @entity299 . However, extubation @entity177 occurred due to @entity1576 with poor expectoration. Her EDAC was improved in response to high flow nasal @entity26 therapy (HFNOT). Subsequently, the @entity1 was stabilized and transferred to the general ward. HFNOT, which generates physiologic positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) effects, could be an alternative and effective management of EDAC. Further research and clinical trials are needed to demonstrate the therapeutic effect of HFNOT on EDAC.
