Abstract
Analysis of 500 cases of inhalation trauma showed that the main causes of death were intoxication, pneumonia and septicaemia. It is thus very important to carry out a rapid and reliable diagnosis before these clinical symptoms develop. We have elaborated three biochemical tests to analyse the condition of burn victims. The tests measure the degree of intoxication, the extent of inhalation trauma, and sepsis.
