چکیده
Smoke inhalation injury can cause severe physiologic perturbations. In pediatric patients, these perturbations cause profound changes in cardiac and pulmonary physiology. In this review, we examine the pathology, early management options, ventilator strategy, and long-term outcomes in pediatric patients who have suffered a smoke inhalation injury.

Predicting ventilation failure in children with inhalation injury.
Despite advances in mechanical ventilatory support for patients with smoke inhalation injury, including the use of high-frequency flow-interruption ventilators such as the VDR, inhalation injury alone may increase mortality by as much as 20% in patients with thermal injury, and up to 60% when pneumonia occurs. Inhalation injury causes a primary large and small airway epithelial insult that resu...

متن کاملAre serum cytokines early predictors for the outcome of burn patients with inhalation injuries who do not survive?
INTRODUCTION Severely burned patients suffering from inhalation injury have a significantly increased risk for mortality compared with burned patients without inhalation injury. Severe burn is associated with a distinct serum cytokine profile and alterations in cytokines that contribute to morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was therefore to determine whether severely burned p...
متن کاملDNA and inflammatory mediators in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from children with acute inhalational injuries.
The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of using serial bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALFs) to characterize the course of cell damage and inflammation in the airways of pediatric patients with acute burn or inhalation injury. This was a prospective, longitudinal, descriptive pilot study conducted at the Burn and Pediatric Intensive Care Units in a tertiary care medical center. Six...
