Abstract
Inhalation injury is an acute insult of the respiratory tract, caused
by steam or toxic inhalants. A suspicion of inhalation trauma (closed-space
exposure, facial burns, etc.) is an indication for an immediate endotracheal
intubation. Precise objective case history is also very important
point for making the diagnosis. Up-to-date methods of examination
in case suspicion of inhalation injury are described in our contribution.
The main therapeutical points are mentioned as well.
