Laryngeal morphologic changes and epidemiology in patients with inhalation injury: A retrospective study

Highlights • Inhalation injury patients from January 1999 to June 2013 were analyzed. • Laryngeal burn severity was related to TBSA and third-degree burn surface area. • Severe inhalation burns showed a higher tracheotomy rate within 12 h. • Patient mortality was significantly related to the severit...

Summary:Highlights • Inhalation injury patients from January 1999 to June 2013 were analyzed. • Laryngeal burn severity was related to TBSA and third-degree burn surface area. • Severe inhalation burns showed a higher tracheotomy rate within 12 h. • Patient mortality was significantly related to the severity of inhalation injury. • Laryngeal burn severity may be a prognosis indicator in inhalation injury.
