Respiratory failure remains one of the most common

reasons leading to hospitalization in paediatric intensive care units. The aetiology of this condition is quite broad, however, lower respiratory tract infections predominate as the main triggering factor. The treatment of respiratory insufficiency includes support or replacement of lung function by oxygen therapy, non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation, and procedures such as inhaled

nitric oxide or prone positioning. In situations where these methods fail, extracorporeal life support is necessary. In the following case report, we discuss the complicated course of pneumonia in a patient whose condition required connection to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and was complicated by development of septic shock, massive bleeding and renal failure.

Keywords: bleeding, disseminated intravascular coagulation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, mechanical ventilation, pneumococcus, respiratory failure, respiratory syncytial virus, sepsis
