Unintentional pediatric cannabis exposures are associated with clinically significant effects, including respiratory depression, hypotension, and bradycardia, but fewer than 5% of exposures were treated with CCIs, like intubation or vasopressors, in patients admitted to the PICU. Further work should assess specific reasons for admission to the PICU.
