We describe a case of near-fatal asthma requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The patient presented with severe respiratory distress, which was not responsive to conventional pharmacological therapy. The patient also failed to respond to mechanical ventilation and thus was placed on venovenous ECMO for temporary pulmonary support.

- RSV infection in infants can escalate to severe conditions, particularly in cases requiring intubation or with cardiopulmonary arrest on arrival.
- The study from Kyoto identified 25 severe RSV patients, and detailed results were analyzed from 21, with a focus on higher white blood cell count, lactate dehydrogenase, and lower sodium levels in severe cases compared to milder ones.
- The outcomes showed that 19% of patients died, while 67% improved and were discharged, indicating a significant recovery rate despite the severity of some cases.
