Does inhalation injury predict mortality in burns patients or require redefinition? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Inhalation injury is known to be an important factor in predicting mortality in burns patients. However, the diagnosis is complicated by the heterogeneous presentation and inability to determine the severity of inhalation injury.

Inhalation Injury Grading Using Transfer Learning Based on Bronchoscopy Images and Mechanical Ventilation Period

open access: yesSensors, 2022
The abbreviated injury score (AIS) is commonly used as a grading system for inhalation injuries. While inhalation injury grades have inconsistently been shown to correlate positively with the time mechanical ventilation is needed, grading is subjective ...

Guideline of Management of Acute Smoke Inhalation Injury: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Last 10 Years [PDF]

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Background: Inhalation injury-based respiratory failure is the main cause of death in patients with severe burns. In general, damage from smoke inhalation results in airway edema, inflammation and, subsequently, cellular debris, mucus, fibrin clots and

Bronchoscopy-derived correlates of lung injury following inhalational injuries: a prospective observational study. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a major factor determining morbidity following burns and inhalational injury. In experimental models, factors potentially contributing to ALI risk include inhalation of toxins directly causing cell damage; inflammation; and ...

Positive signs on physical examination are not always indications for endotracheal tube intubation in patients with facial burn

open access: yesBMC Emergency Medicine, 2022
Background After clinical evaluation in the emergency department (ED), facial burn patients are usually intubated to protect their airways. However, the possibility of unnecessary intubation or delayed intubation after admission exists.

Identification of differentially expressed proteins in the injured lung from zinc chloride smoke inhalation based on proteomics analysis

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2019
Background Lung injury due to zinc chloride smoke inhalation is very common in military personnel and leads to a high incidence of pulmonary complications and mortality. The aim of this study was to uncover the underlying mechanisms of lung injury due to
