Abstract
A 25-year-old pregnant patient developed life-threatening asthma refractory to all standard treatment including anaesthetic agents. Ventilatory pressures continued to rise with impending cardio-respiratory arrest. The introduction of nebulised endotracheal DNase however resulted in a rapid and dramatic improvement with good clinical outcome.
