Abstract

Sixty-seven therapeutic fibrobronchoscopies (FBS) were carried out in burnt patients with suspected inhalation injuries at Center for Burns at the Janelidze Institute of Emergency Care in 1996-1998. The severity of inhalation injury was assessed from the extent and severity of mucosal edema, spot hematomas and their type, erosions and ulcers, discharge, and ventilation obstruction. An original score is developed for evaluating the severity of inhalation injuries in burnt patients. Inhalation injuries were diagnosed in 63 patients. FBS was performed with tracheobronchial lavage with antibiotics, proteolysis enzymes, and repair stimulants. Mortality among burnt patients with inhalation injuries was decreased to 38%.
