Abstract
- PREVIEWPulmonary 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. Dr Lee-Chiong describes the basic mechanisms of injury and discusses how to assess and manage complications caused by smoke inhalation.
