AB  - Smoke  inhalation  is  a  serious  medical  problem  and  continues  to  have  a  significant  impact  on  the  morbidity  and  mortality  of  patients  with  flame  burns.  According  to  the  American  Burn  Association  Repository  (2012),  inhalation  injury  is  present  in  17%  of  patients  with  flame  burns  and  increases  the  overall  mortality  rate  of  these  patients  up  to  24%,  while  the  mortality  of  burn  patients  without  inhalation  injury  is  3%.1  The  presence  of  smoke  inhalation  injury  prolongs  the  length  of  hospital  stay  2.5-fold  compared  to  those  without  smoke  inhalation  injury  (24  days  vs.  10  days).1
