In a severe asthma attack unresponsive to drug therapy, a condition called status asthmaticus may lead to fatal respiratory failure and thus the need for endotracheal intubation. The patient requires hospitalization for aggressive medical treatment and follow-up. Occasionally some children may develop pneumonia concurrent with the asthma attack.
