Survival from serious burns in children has improved substantially in recent years. Mortality is predominantly determined by the total body surface area burned and the often unrecognised inhalation injury. A retrospective review of 4,451 consecutive children with thermal injuries over a 10-year period was undertaken to determine the incidence, clinical

(1) Inhalation injury usually occurs in persons with large flame burns indoors, frequently followed by respiratory failure and death. (2) fiberoptic bronchoscopy accurately verifies the diagnosis. (3) Assessment of pulmonary capillary integrity plus bronchoscopy can predict early respiratory failure.

Inhalation burn injury in children
Pediatric Anesthesia, 2009SummaryWith advances in burn care, many children are surviving severe burn injuries. Inhalation injury remains a predictor of morbidity and mortality in burn injury. Inhalation of smoke and toxic gases leads to pulmonary complications, including airway obstruction from bronchial casts, pulmonary edema, decreased pulmonary compliance, and ventilation ...

Abstract The management of acute orofacial burns and inhalational injury can be extremely challenging and emotive, requiring a calm but expeditious systematic, multidisciplinary approach. Airway interventions necessitate involvement of a skilled, senior anaesthetist and, therefore, must be carefully timed with a full array of difficult ...

Burns are one of the most feared and misunderstood traumatic injuries. They are a breed of trauma in which a patient can come in talking and yet succumb to their injuries within 24–48 h if the physician is not diligent. This chapter is meant to provide a guidebook for those who do not treat burns every day.

Current opinion in pulmonary medicine, 2005
Smoke inhalation injury affects nearly one third of all major burn victims. Significant inhalation exposures must be suspected in persons who were entrapped in a closed space or who became unconscious during a fire. Each individual fire generates a characteristic smoke depending on the type of materials burnt, temperatures reached during pyrolysis, and

Journal of General Practice, 2014
A 13-year old boy attended the ENT outpatient department for otological review. A rectangular burn mark with surrounding skin peeling on the dorsum of his left hand was incidentally noted. Further history revealed that a week prior to the visit, he was challenged to spray the back of his hands using his friend’s Salbutamol metered dose inhaler.

Smoke Inhalation and Burn Injury
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1980This section covers five situations in surgical respiratory care that the busy surgeon may encounter only a few times each year. The authors are experts on the modern understanding of these conditions. The practice of pediatric surgery and neonatal intensive care is approaching the point at which a surgeon will deal with neonates all the time or not at

Effects of Burns on Inhalation Injury
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1997There are few studies of smoke injury combined with thermal burn.Seven sheep (G1) received smoke injury alone; eight (G2) received a 40% full-thickness scald burn immediately after smoke injury. All animals were resuscitated with lactated Ringer's solution and killed 48 hours after injury.

Inhalation injury in the burn patient
Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2004Patients who survive to hospital admission after bums with inhalation injury face a difficult and potentially prolonged course of treatment in the burn center. Continuing survival and especially functional outcome hinges on the patient's receiving comprehensive, well-coordinated care from an interdisciplinary team of skilled health care providers.
