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,  inhalation  injury  is  one  of  the  most  lethal  characteristics  of  burn  patients,  and  its  presence  is  associated  with  an  overall  mortality  rate  of  20%  between  2009  and  2018;  mortality  is  only  2.9%  in  those  patients  without  smoke  inhalation.1  Inhalation  injury  is  present  in  17%  of  patients  with  flame  burns,2  and  its  presence  prolongs  the  length  of  hospital  stay  2.5-fold  compared  to  those  without  smoke  inhalation  injury  (24  days  vs.  10  days).2
