This single-center case series describes the presentation, course, and treatment of EVALI in a pediatric intensive care unit setting. Our results show nuanced differences in the presentation and management of the critically ill adolescent, and raise many questions about the long term implications on lung health, morbidity, and mortality. Importantly, these cases illustrate the critical care consequences of a public health phenomenon and should spur further research and policy to address the negative health effects of vaping.
