Biggest risks for inhalation injuries? (2) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- smoke inhalation often
4
kills before the initial burn: bronchioles are burned = no gas exchange!
- carboxy hemoglobin level: measures amount of CO in pts body.
- if pt has high CO, can be converted to cyanide - pt gets cyanide antidote.
- at risk for CO and cyanide poisoning!
Inhalation injuries: bronchoscopy? (4) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔- need to clear all the soot
out of their bronchioles.
- often get it w/in 6-12 hrs.
