Management of Inhalation Injury

• Primary Survey and Secondary Survey (as for trauma)
• Singed eyebrows or hair, soot in the nose or mouth, carbonaceous sputum, hoarseness, & stridor are signs of smoke inhalation injury → anticipate airway swelling
• Early tracheal intubation by experienced staff (rapid airway swelling may make later intubation extremely difficult)
• Carboxyhemoglobin levels to assess for carbon monoxide poisoning
• Administer supplemental oxygen
