Weighing the Risks and Benefits of Electronic Cigarette Use in High-Risk Populations
2018, Medical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Persons who use e-cigarette can inadvertently overheat the lithium ion battery, which results in explosion and fire due to the inherent flammability of the e-liquid.32 Recent case series have reported burns and traumatic injuries of the oral or maxillofacial region (from explosions during e-cigarette use) and the extremities (from spontaneous explosions while the devices were stored in pockets).33–38 Specific injuries to the oral cavity include intraoral burns, luxation injuries, and chipped and fractured teeth.34
Burns caused by electronic vaping devices (e-cigarettes): A new classification proposal based on mechanisms
2018, BurnsCitation Excerpt :Patterson et al. [4] proposed a review based on TV, internet and newspaper reports: “a “PubMed” search did not return any articles on this entity [medical literature related to e-cigarette-induced injuries]”. But for the last few years, the number of case reports and case series increased: 19 articles concerning e-cigarettes’ burns had been found in the medical literature since 2016 [2,4–21]. This fact prompted us to discuss these articles.
