Introduction: The acute respiratory distress syndrome is an inflammatory process originated by some pulmonary diseases, resulting in non-hydrostatic protein edema of the pulmonary parenchyma. The loss of the lung ability to eliminate carbon dioxide generates complications such as refractory hypoxemia, decreased alveolar dysplasia, increased complacency and hypercarbia. The treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome, consist in measures to prevent lung diseases progression and optimize oxygenation. Objective: To identify, in the international scientific literature, cases or series of cases reporting the combined application of prone position and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, as well as the benefit of these rescue therapies. Method: This is a systematic review of case reports that show the benefit of combined therapies in the treatment of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Results: From the research strategy and selection criteria were included 8 studies reporting 19 cases of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome who received the combination of the two rescue therapies. All studies showed that extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was the primary intervention. There were no reports of adverse events. Conclusion: The combinations of therapies positively interfere on the prognosis of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, in addition to presenting no additional risks in terms of the occurrence of adverse events; however, the prone position should precede the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as first-line intervention.
