Résumé
There has been a rapid increase in e-cigarette usage, especially among young adults. E-cigarettes are often thought to be a safe substitute to traditional smoking and are frequently used as a bridge to smoking cessation. E-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury often presents with subacute or acute respiratory failure. We report a case of a young man in his 20s, who developed rapidly worsening respiratory failure in the postoperative period. This case highlights the importance of recognising this entity on time, especially in the perioperative period, and its impact on patient outcomes.
