America’s opioid epidemic is hitting kids harder than ever, putting thousands into intensive care, a new study finds. The number of kids sent to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) doubled between 2004 and 2015, a team at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital found. Even in children under 6 years old, opioids now account for the majority of drug poisonings. They found more than 3,600 children aged 17 and under were admitted for opioid-related injuries at just 31 hospitals between 2004 and 2015. For more information click here.
