BMJ Case Reports, 2020
A middle-aged patient presented with toxic inhalational injury, and was resuscitated prehospitally and treated in the emergency department for smoke inhalation, carbon monoxide (CO) exposure and cyanide poisoning with the use of antidotes. Due to the CO effects on spectrophotometry, an anaemia initially identified on blood gas analysis was thought to ...

AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1993
Inhalation injury remains a primary determinant of patient survival, with 60% to 70% of burn center fatalities attributed to the pulmonary complications of inhalation injury. Substantial airway damage and pulmonary complications can result from the inhalation of toxic fumes and gases found in smoke.

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2001
Smoke inhalation injuries are the leading cause of fatalities from burn injury. The major forms of inhalation injuries are carbon monoxide toxicity, injury to the upper airway, and pulmonary parenchymal damage. The compromised airway is protected by tracheal intubation, and respiratory failure is treated with assisted ventilation.

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1994
Toxic inhalants cause injury through a variety of different mechanisms, including direct irritation of the respiratory tract mucosa, asphyxiation, and systemic absorption of the toxin. The nature and extent of the acute injury depends on the inhalant's water solubility, aerodynamic features, pH, and concentration.

Recent events have underscored the importance of proper diagnosis and management of patients with inhalation injury. Clinicians who care for individuals who have sustained inhalation damage to their respiratory tract need to take a careful exposure history and be alert to possibilities of delayed effects and clinical deterioration.

Up to a third of all victims of major burns suffer smoke-related injury and may die as a result of inhalation injury. The management of the upper airway depends on a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of injury, including carbon monoxide toxicity, thermal injury, and smoke inhalation.

Tracheobronchial cytology in inhalation injury
Journal of Bronchology, 1997The aim of this study is to establish whether tracheobronchial cytology is useful in the diagnosis of inhalation injury. Twenty patients diagnosed to have inhalation injury by existing clinical criteria and 20 control patients were admitted into the study. Bronchoscopy and brush biopsies were carried out.

Smoke inhalation injury in children still represents a significant cause of pulmonary disease and mortality. Carbon monoxide and other toxic products of combustion are major determinants of severity. Early hypoxemia is a contributor to over 50% of deaths.

Postgraduate Medicine, 1987
Smoke inhalation injury is responsible for more deaths after fire than actual body burns. Many of the effects of heat and chemical burns to the airways are delayed and may not be clinically evident at first. Chest films are often not helpful, and direct laryngoscopic or bronchofibroscopic examination or a ventilation-perfusion scan may be necessary to ...

Hydrogen Sulfide Inhalation Injury
Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, 2000Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless, noxious gas with the distinctive smell of rotten eggs. This compound is a powerful reducing agent that is encountered in a number of industrial processes. When hydrogen sulfide is present, it exposes workers to the potentially lethal effects of the rapid hypoxemia that results from exposure to this agent.
