The indications for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are expanding. Postobstructive pulmonary edema, also known as negative pressure pulmonary edema, can result in severe respiratory compromise and acute respiratory distress syndrome. We present a case of a 26‐year‐old female with laryngeal papillomatosis and laryngospasm after direct laryngoscopy, who developed severe NPPE refractory to mechanical ventilator support, which was successfully treated with veno‐venous ECMO.
