Educational Pearls:

  • Vaping-related lung injury initially presents with flu-like symptoms and can progress to respiratory failure requiring aggressive resuscitation including ECMO
  • It is thought to be related to the contents of homemade vaping fluid, mostly in THC-containing products (“brands” include DankVapes, PaxPen)
  • Ask patients with vague constitutional or respiratory symptoms about their vape use
