Inhalation Injury: Smoke Inhalation
The American Journal of Nursing, 1980noxious gases and particles which can produce such symptoms as hypoxemia, as well as orolaryngeal, tracheal, and pulmonary irritation and damage. Some of these gases are systemically toxic and some are toxic only to the lungs. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a systemically toxic gas produced from combustion; it is not a pulmonary irritant.

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.

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.

Managing Smoke Inhalation Injuries
Postgraduate Medicine, 1989Inhalation injuries most often occur with cutaneous burns, and the likelihood of an inhalation injury increases incrementally with age of the patient and size of the burn. Damage to the pulmonary parenchymal tissue manifests as increased capillary permeability leading to excessive lung fluid formation and increasing hypoxia. An inhalation injury may be

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.

Pulmonary injury due to smoke inhalation is a significant cause of death in fire victims. Singed nasal hair and carbonaceous sputum are easily recognized warning signs, but other subtle clues should prompt thorough evaluation and aggressive treatment.

Lung injury from smoke inhalation
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2006Significant morbidity and mortality from smoke inhalation occurs in victims of fire. Lung injury can be caused by chemical and thermal insults. A variety of noxious gases, irritants and asphyxiants are generated depending on the material burnt. Carbon monoxide is the predominant cause of death among fire victims.

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 ...

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1994
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.

Inflammatory Mediators in Smoke Inhalation Injury
Inflammation & Allergy-Drug Targets, 2009Smoke 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%.
