cheobronchial injury, compared to pure upper airway injury
[25]. Several studies have shown that patients with inhalation
injury require increased fluids during resuscitation [3, 24],
and this correlates with a decreased PaO2/FiO2 ratio and longer MV times [25, 43]. Ventilation goals for inhalation injury
are similar to lung-protective strategies derived from National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute ARDS Network data (www.
ardsnet.org). Most conventional ventilator modes may be
used to achieve tidal volumes 6 mL/kg, plateau pressures
<30cm water, and initial higher positive end-expiratory pressure [8, 44].
Poor oxygenation and ventilation may occur in those with
extensive cutaneous injuries, higher grades of inhalation
injury, fibrin casts, and mucous plugs. Alternative or advanced
ventilator modes may be required to optimize airway patency,
reduce ventilation-perfusion mismatching, and prevent the
development of pneumonia [45]. Higher tidal volumes can be
considered transiently in the pediatric population [7, 46].
High-frequency percussive ventilation and airway [47] pressure release ventilation have both been used to enhance
oxygenation in inhalation injury, but no mortality benefit has
been noted. High-frequency oscillatory ventilation is not recommended [7, 45, 46].
Medical Therapy
Treatment for inhalation injury is currently supportive,
although many pharmacologic agents and respiratory measures have been used extensively by burn centers with varying degrees of success. Therapeutic nebulized agents may
be classified as mucolytic agents, bronchodilators, or anticoagulants. Respiratory management includes intensive
bronchial hygiene, oral care, incentive spirometry, and early
ambulation. The potential role of steroids and other inflammatory agents is an active area of research [8]. The empirical use of corticosteroids is not recommended [46, 48] in all
patients; however, corticosteroid therapy may decrease

post- extubation stridor (and possible need for reintubation) in patients with airway edema. In a subset of patients
with upper airway edema, heliox (a mixture of helium and
oxygen) has been used in our institution to avoid intubation or as adjunct for early extubation [49]. Personnel with
burn airway expertise are present when we use this gas
mixture to improve laminar flow in small airways. Evidencebased guidelines for treatment of inhalation injury are summarized in Table5.3.

Mucolytic agents address the issue of inspissated mucus
and hypersecretion after severe inhalation injuries [45].
N-acetylcysteine (NAC), commonly used, enhances airway
clearance and possesses anti-inflammatory properties. It may
act as an airway irritant and should be used with bronchodilators to reduce bronchospasm. Beta-2 agonists, such as albuterol or salbutamol, relax bronchiole smooth muscle, inhibit
bronchospasm, and may improve PaO2/FiO2 ratio [7]. Some
patients may also benefit from the muscarinic receptor antagonists, ipratropium or tiotropium; these inhaled anticholinergic medications function as bronchodilators. Nebulized
heparin is added to aid the breakdown of fibrin casts. These
nebulized medications can be continued for 7 days or until
extubated [7, 45].
Complications
In addition to airway edema and obstruction, the most
common early complication is respiratory tract infection [2].
Prophylactic antimicrobial therapy is not recommended in
inhalation injury, but it should be initiated once the diagnosis
of pneumonia occurs and sputum cultures are available [2,
46]. Bronchoscopy can be used for the initial diagnosis and

for bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL); pneumonia is a complication of prolonged intubation, and sequential bronchoscopy
may reduce intubation times and hospital stay [24, 51, 52].
The degree of injury diagnosed by bronchoscopy (AIS)
correlates with oxygen perturbations, development of acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prolonged mechanical ventilation, and increased fluid resuscitation needs [24]. In
severe burn patients, multiple mechanisms contribute to
ARDS: severe inhalation injury, sepsis, ventilator-induced
lung injury, systemic inflammatory response to the burn [53].
Patients with inhalation injury may develop poor oxygenation and ARDS earlier than cutaneous burn patients without inhalation injury [54]. The Berlin definition should be
used to diagnosis ARDS in burn patients [44, 55] (see
Table5.4). Treatment for ARDS in the burn center is patientdependent and involves lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategy, side or prone positioning, echocardiography to

clarify cardiogenic versus non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema,
nebulized medications for inhalation injury, neuromuscular
blockade if needed, and the nutritional and antioxidant
enteral support required for the cutaneous burn [46]. A small
percentage of patients will not respond to these interventions
to improve oxygenation and ventilation, and this population
may require the use of pulmonary vasodilators and/or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [56]. Pulmonary
vasodilators include inhaled therapies, such as epoprostenol
(synthetic prostacyclin) and nitric oxide.
Long-term sequelae in inhalation injury may be avoided
with early extubation and treatment. Mild complications
include vocal cord dysfunction with voice changes, endobronchial or vocal cord polyps, and persistent symptoms
consistent with asthma or obstructive lung disease [6, 39] .
Severe complications are rare and can be diagnosed rapidly
with bronchoscopy. These include tracheal stenosis (seen
more commonly in children with prolonged intubation),
tracheoesophageal fistula, and tracheal rupture. Other
complications are bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis obliterans,
and vocal cord fusion. Many of these complications may
have a delayed presentation; therefore, long-term follow-up
is necessary [2]. Delayed airway obstruction may also occur
due to severe scar contracture in facial burns with or without inhalation injury.
Conclusion
It is recommended that both adults and children with
inhalation injury be observed in the acute setting with
continuous monitoring, allowing for prompt treatment of
airway edema and intervention prior to airway obstruction
[40]. Inhalation injury is a complex medical problem
requiring a multidisciplinary team and preventative
therapies. Optimal management may require the
collaboration of several medical providers: emergency
physicians, intensivists, anesthesiologists, burn surgeons,
