Abstract

An attempt has been made to review the characteristics of fire and smoke and the epidemiology of smoke inhalation to identify some of the many variables which interact to control the severity of the injury. An experimental model appropriate to study the pulmonary injury of smoke victims who survive to enter the health care system is described. Experiments which define how smoke damages the lung are reviewed in an effort to explain why the smoke-damaged lung is vulnerable to additional stress and why those with an injured lung and a burn have such a high mortality rate.
