“…26 There also are reported associations between cannabis smoking and/or vaping and PSP, but they are confounded by concomitant tobacco smoking. [27][28][29] Several reports identified increased spontaneous pneumothoraces after days with large changes in atmospheric pressure, but there are conflicting findings in recent investigations. [30][31][32] Approximately 10% of patients with PSP have a positive family history of pneumothorax, 33,34 although no specific genetic mutations have been associated with sporadic PSP.…”

Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a relatively common problem in emergency medicine. The incidence of PSP peaks in adolescence and is most common in tall, thin males. Recent advances in the care of patients with PSP have called into question traditional approaches to management. This clinical review highlights the changing management strategies for PSP and concludes with a proposed evidence-based pathway to guide the care of adolescents with PSP.

“…Tables 2 and 3. Most common diagnosis was EVALI (n = 15) [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] or EVALI with an additional finding (n = 1) [37]. Second most common diagnosis included either organizing pneumonia/ Bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP)/ respiratory bronchiolitis (n = 12) [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] or lipoid pneumonia (n = 9) [11,[47][48][49][50][51].…”

Following the recent electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) illness outbreak, the current review aimed to collect all related clinical cases for study and analysis and provide a critical synopsis of the proposed injury mechanism. Adhering to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis) guidelines, e-cigarette-related clinical cases were identified via Google Scholar and PubMed databases. Additionally, references of published case reports and previous review papers were manually searched, revealing 159 publications presenting e-cigarette-related case reports and 19 reports by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 238 individual cases were identified; 53% traumatic injuries due to e-cigarette explosion or self-combustion, 24% respiratory cases, and 12% poisonings. Additional cases pertained to oral, cardiovascular, immunologic, hematologic, allergic reactions, infant complications, and altered medication levels. Case reports were mainly published between 2016–2019 (78%). The oldest case, a lipoid pneumonia, was published in 2012. The current review showed that e-cigarette-related health effects extend beyond the acute lung injury syndrome, including traumatic, thermal injuries and acute intoxications. Physicians should be aware of the distinct clinical presentations and be trained to respond and treat effectively. Regulators and public health authorities should address the regulatory gap regarding electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) and novel tobacco products.

“…E-cigarettes have generally been advertised to be less damaging to the lung parenchyma than traditional cigarette smoking. However, as vaping rates continue to rise, numerous cases are illustrating that this may be further and further from the truth since associated EVALI is parallelly increasing [ [5] , [6] , [7] ]. E-cigarettes may increase the risk of pneumothorax through the action of both the physiologic mechanisms and inhaled toxins.…”

Pneumothorax is the presence of air in the pleural space that can result in the partial or complete collapse of a lung. Cigarette and cannabis smoking are also well-known risk factors. Vaping, on the other hand, is not as well-established as little is known about the impact electronic cigarettes have on the development of pneumothoraces despite their use rapidly increasing over the past decade. While the long-term adverse health effects of vaping are still unknown, the acute adverse events of vaping that have occurred are concerning. Pneumothoraces due to electronic cigarettes have been rarely reported so far but the body of literature illustrating an association is growing. We hope to contribute to it by presenting a case of a 19-year-old male who presented with an e-cigarette induced pneumothorax. It is our hope that this case brings more evidence to the dangers of e-cigarette use.
