Abstract

Burn patients are one of the most challenging patient profiles at medical literature. At indoor enviroment, inhalation injury adds to the accompanying skin injury and increases the morbidity and mortality. The management of the smoke injury is difficult and complex issue for medical teams. It requires a multidisciplinary work from anesthesiologists to surgeons as inhalation injury affects whole body systems, from respiratory to cardiovascular and neurologic systems. Accordingly, the treatment of burn patients with inhalation injury is different from simple skin burn victims. Early diagnosis and treatment of inhalation injury is mandatory as it can be life saving. Therefore, markers of inhalation injury should be known by emergency sevice workers and the treatment should be started immediately after the admission of the patient. In this rewiev, we collected the medical literature about inhalation injury to create a guide for the diagnosis and the treatment of this pathology.

İnhalasyon Yaralanmalarının Tanı ve Tedavisi: Literatürün Gözden Geçirilmesi

Abstract

Yanık hastaları tıp literatüründe en karmaşık hasta profillerinden biri olmuştur. Kapalı ortamlarda cilt yanığına eklenen inhalasyon yaralanması morbidite ve mortaliteyi arttırmaktadır. Duman yaralanmasının denetimi medikal takım için zorlu ve kompleks bir konudur. Bu, anestezi uzmanından cerrahına kadar multidisipliner bir iştir. Çünkü, inhalasyon yaralanması solunum sisteminden kardiyovasküler ve nörolojik sisteme kadar tüm vücudu etkilemektedir. Ayrıca inhalasyon yaralanmalı yanık hastalarının tedavisi de basit deri yanıklı kurbanların tedavilerinden farklıdır. İnhalasyon yaralanmalı hastada erken teşhis ve tedavi önemlidir. Bu nedenle inhalasyon hasarının belirteçleri acil servis çalışanları tarafından bilinmeli ve hastanın başvurusu anında tedavi başlatılmalıdır. Bu derlemede, patolojinin denetimi ve tedavisi için bir kılavuz oluşturmak için inhalasyon yaralanmasıyla ilgili literatürü topladık.
