Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides in-depth analysis and guidance in the clinical diagnosis and treatment, and development of new treatments with clinical applied prospect of burn and trauma associated lung injury. It includes study on the pathological change of burn and trauma associated lung injury such as inhalation injury, lung blast injury, pulmonary barotrauma, delayed hemopneumothorax, lung injury associated sepsis, ventilator-induced lung injury and ischemia-reperfusion lung injury. It is also compiled with many clinical typical cases, full data and series of pictures. It also aims at bringing more clinicians’ attention to burn-/trauma-induced lung injury, making them familiar with the relevant theories and clinical diagnose; guiding the treatment of burn and trauma associated lung injury and improving the prognosis and life quality of patients; stimulating more clinicians and researchers to further explore the pathological mechanism and new treatments of burn and trauma associated lung injury. It persists in combining theory and practice, and highlights practical application to reflect the theoretical value. It is very suitable for the medical teaching and can also be used as a reference book for medical doctoral students, postgraduates, and medical trainees receiving continuing education from critical care medicine, burn & trauma surgery, and emergency medicine.

Download or read book Inhalation Injury And Its Impact On The Quality Of The Treatment Of Burn Patients written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background and Goal of Study: inhalation injuries are defined as injuries of the upper respiratory tract caused by a direct effect of heat and / or chemical injury to the lower respiratory tract caused by inhalation of harmful gases. Combined with skin burns, morbidity and mortality of patients with inhalation injury is significantly higher. Materials and methods: A five-year, prospective study included patients older than 18 years, with II and III degree burn injury. Diagnosis of inhalation injury was made on a subjective assessment of the burn severity, together with a fact that it happened in closed space. Physical findings, burns of the face and neck, presence of soot in the proximal airway, throat irritation, coughing of the dark sputum, stridor and hoarseness were also used to confirm the inhalation injury diagnosis. We examined the impact of inhalation injuries on the length of hospital stay as well as on survival. T-test was used to compare the average values of the parametric features and Pearson Chi-square to compare the differences in frequency of categorical feature. Cox regression analysis was used in order to determine predictors of in hospital mortality. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results and discussion: 644 patients were included in the study, mostly men (over 70%). The average age of our patients was 54 years. Most of patients had combined burns of IIb and III degree, IIa in 4,9%, IIb in 34.5%, IIb-III 53.6% and III degree in 7.1% of patients. The most common mechanism of injury was flame (49.7%). Diagnosis of inhalation injury was made in 33 patients (5.1%), and overall mortality was 17%. The average length of treatment of our patients was 19u00b118 days. A high-statistically significant difference was observed in relation to the length of treatment of patients with and without inhalation injuries (23u00b17 vs. 16u00b115 days, pu02c20.001). Our results also showed that inhalation injury was a significant predictor of intra hospital mortality (RR=11.95, CI=7.84-18.21).Conclusion: Our study results confirm that presence of inhalation injury significantly affects length of hospital treatment as well as overall survival.
Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Inhalation Injury written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhalation injury is defined as acute respiratory tract damage of variable severity caused by inspiration of steam or toxic inhalants such as fumes, gases, and mists. Fumes consist of small particles dispersed in air, usually with various irritants or cytotoxic chemicals adherent to the particles. Mists consist of aerosolized irritants or cytotoxic liquids. Smoke consists of a combination of fumes, gases, mists, and hot air. The level and degree of injury are broadly determined by the physicochemical properties of the causative agent, the amount inhaled, and any preexisting diseases of the victim. Inhalation injury is notable for its inhomogeneity both within and between patients and may occur independently from cutaneous burn injury, although they usually occur together. Inhalation injury may occur at any location along the respiratory tract. The airway may conveniently be divided into three anatomical areas which are differentially affected by inhalation injury: the supraglottic, tracheobronchial (major airways), and lung parenchymal regions.
