ABSTRACT
Obesity, sleep apnea syndrome and hypothyroidism cause management of mechanical ventilation and weaning a difficult task. We report management of mechanical ventilation and subsequent weaning of a morbidly obese lady of BMI 42 kg/m2 with hypothyroidism and sleep apnea for 52 days. To make the matter worse, she had accidental extubations, multiple cardiac arrests, pneumonia and renal dysfunction during her ICU stay
