Inflammatory Mediators in Smoke Inhalation Injury

Inflammation & Allergy-Drug Targets, 2009
Smoke inhalation occurs in 10% to 30% of patients admitted to burn centers, and increases mortality by a maximum of 20% over that predicted by age and extent of cutaneous burn alone. Pneumonia in these patients then further increases mortality by a maximum of 40%.

Smoke Inhalation and Burn Injury

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1980
This 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

Pathophysiological Basis of Smoke Inhalation Injury

Physiology, 2003
Smoke inhalation injury results in serious respiratory failure. When smoke inhalation injury is combined with burn injury or pneumonia, the physiological responses are different and more severe than those of smoke inhalation injury alone. Treatment strategies should be planned based on these pathophysiological aspects.

Vitamin C and Smoke Inhalation Injury

Journal of Burn Care & Research, 2009
A second potential therapeutic option for the parenchymal damage caused by inhalation injury is systemic administration of intravenous agents. The unique nature of the effects of the burn and smoke on lung physiology and immunology create new opportunities for systemic treatments targeting specific aspects of the response to injury.

Fire and Smoke Inhalation Injury in Horses

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2007
Although not common in horses, fire and smoke inhalation trauma may require veterinary assistance at several levels. Most commonly, the equine clinician is called on to provide care of potentially complex and emotionally charged cases. Thermal injury, along with smoke inhalation, can cause local and diffuse lesions.

Smoke Inhalation Injury In A Pony

Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, 1993
SummaryA seven year old Welsh pony stallion was admitted to the Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation injury (SII) sustained in a barn fire. The pony was severly affected and demonstrated the three clinical phases typically described with SII. A nuclear pulmonary perfusion scan demonstrated multiple areas of unperfused

Inhalational Injuries (Excluding Smoke Inhalation)

1991
Toxic gas inhalation injuries occur as the result of occupational or domestic accidents, smoke inhalation, or military exposure. Most noxious inhalants directly irritate or damage the mucosa of the pharynx and tracheobronchial tree, producing erythema, edema, laryngospasm, and bronchospasm [272]. On occasion, mucosal ulceration and sloughing also occur.

EFFECT OF PHENYTOIN ON SMOKE INHALATION INJURY IN SHEEP

Shock, 1995
To determine whether the anti-inflammatory effects of phenytoin might reduce cardiopulmonary dysfunction we studied the effects of phenytoin treatment on acute lung injury induced by smoke inhalation. Twenty-one chronically instrumented sheep were observed for 24 h after smoke inhalation injury.

The Pathophysiology of Smoke Inhalation Injury in a Sheep Model

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1984
This study describes an experimental model of smoke inhalation injury in sheep, in which the same pathophysiologic alterations occur as with clinical inhalation in man. Both the patients and the experimental sheep develop diffuse pulmonary mucosal sloughing, pulmonary edema, and a decrease in systemic oxygen tension.

Toxic smoke compounds and inhalation injury—a review

Burns, 1988
Although the role of inhalation injury in contributing to the mortality of burn patients has received increasing attention, the available information on the toxic and injurious effects of smoke generated from uncontrolled fires is scarce. This is because each fire generates its own variety of smoke, depending on the nature of the combusting materials ...
