Vaping associated pulmonary illness (VAPI) presents with lung and other symptoms and can rapidly progress to respiratory failure. Further research into VAPI etiology, treatment, and prevention is urgently needed.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Toxicology
- Public Health
Background:
- Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) produce aerosols for inhalation.
- Reports of adverse outcomes from e-cigarette use, termed vaping associated pulmonary illness (VAPI), have increased.
- VAPI can manifest with pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and constitutional symptoms.
