Abstract
“Victims of conflagrations frequently sustain pulmonary injuries that are of equal or greater importance to survival than are the burns received on the surface of the body. In some instances the changes are confined to the upper air passages with little or no damage to the lungs. In some the larynx and trachea show little or no evidence of injury and profound pulmonary damage is sustained. In still others the entire tract is affected” [211].
