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.

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

Zinc Chloride (Smoke Bomb) Inhalational Lung Injury

Chest, 1986
Physicians, military and civilian alike, may be called upon to recognize, treat, and provide long-term care to patients who have suffered a zinc chloride (smoke bomb) inhalational injury. Pathologic changes described in the literature include laryngeal, tracheal, and bronchial mucosal edema and ulceration; interstitial edema; interstitial fibrosis ...

TNF-α in smoke inhalation lung injury

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1997
Hales, Charles A., T. H. Elsasser, Peter Ocampo, and Olga Efimova. TNF-α in smoke inhalation lung injury. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(5): 1433–1437, 1997.—Adult respiratory distress syndrome is a major cause of morbidity in fire victims. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is edematogenic and has been associated with the etiology of other forms of adult ...

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.

Steroid Therapy following Isolated Smoke Inhalation Injury

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1982
Steroids have no positive influence upon pulmonary related morbidity and mortality following combined smoke inhalation and thermal cutaneous injury (3, 4). Steroid administration following isolated smoke inhalation without concomitant thermal cutaneous injury has, however, been shown to have beneficial effects in previous animal studies (1).

A rat model of smoke inhalation injury

Inhalation Toxicology, 2012
Smoke inhalation injury is the leading cause of acute respiratory failure in critical burn victims. Advances in the treatment of smoke inhalation injury have been limited in the past years. To further explore the pathogenesis, stable and practical animal models are necessary.To develop a rat model of smoke inhalation injury.The smoke composition ...

2 Smoke inhalation and airway injury

Baillière's Clinical Anaesthesiology, 1997
Respiratory tract injury makes a significant contribution to the morbidity and mortality of burned patients. Injury may be thermal damage to the upper airway, leading to potential airway obstruction, or damage to the lower airway from smoke inhalation, leading to increased capillary permeability.

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.

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.
