The lungs can be an efficient means for the absorption of inhaled toxicants, resulting in airway and pulmonary injury or systemic toxicity. Although a few specific antidotes exist for inhaled toxicants, the syndrome of acute inhalation injury and clinical therapeutics are linked by common pathways of pathophysiology.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

THE LETHAL effects of smoke inhalation have been known as far back as the first century AD when Pliny reported that the Romans executed prisoners by placing them over the smoke of green wood fires.1The November 1980 fire at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas serves as a grim reminder of the dangers of fire-related smoke.

Abstract A group of casualties from a major conflagration was exposed only to the inhalation of fire smoke and not to burning. The resulting respiratory syndrome was clinically identical to that repeatedly reported in fire victims and often attributed to respiratory burns.

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.
