Article Synopsis
- * Although some people may not show symptoms, adrenal hemorrhage is a rare but serious complication that could be missed until autopsy.
- * The report discusses a case of a woman in her 30s whose undiagnosed pheochromocytoma led to hemorrhagic conversion, highlighting the importance of quick diagnosis and treatment.
Use of venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in near-fatal asthma: a case series.

Introduction: Status asthmaticus (SA) and near-fatal asthma (NFA) are life-threatening conditions that continue to present a management challenge for physicians. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) has been employed as a last resort in treating these patients.
Case Presentation: We described six patients who were admitted to the ICU for NFA and received ECMO treatment at a high-complexity institution in Cali, Colombia, between 2015 and 2019.
Case Report: Sudden very late-onset near fatal PD1 inhibitor-associated myocarditis with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest after >2.5 years of pembrolizumab treatment.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have advanced the outcomes of many different types of cancer. A rare but extraordinarily severe complication of these agents resembles immune checkpoint inhibitor-related myocarditis, which typically occurs within the first few weeks after treatment initiation with a mortality of 25%-50%.
Case Report: A 57-year-old woman had uneventfully received pembrolizumab for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer for over 2.
Near fatal asthma in a case of allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) treated with ECMO.

Department of Intensive Care Medicine, Army Medical Center of PLA, Chongqing, China.
Background: Fatal asthma is a rapidly progressing and highly fatal form of asthma. Mechanical ventilation, although necessary for respiratory support, can exacerbate the condition and lead to ventilator-associated lung injury. ECMO therapy is crucial in allowing the lungs to rest and recover, as it provides extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Near-fatal asthma (NFA) is the most severe presentation of asthma. It is characterized by hypoxemic and hypercapnic respiratory failure requiring ventilatory assistance, including non-invasive ventilation and mechanical ventilation. However, NFA has a high mortality rate despite conventional therapy.
