From: Inhalation injury in severely burned children does not augment the systemic inflammatory response
An outline of the study. To participate in the study, the patient had to be admitted to our institute within seven days after the burn injury. Patients were usually taken to the operating room (OR) within 48 hours after admission. Following evaluation of clinical signs and bronchoscopy findings, patients were then divided into control patients and those with inhalation injury. Blood was drawn at admission and three to five days after the first surgery.
