Pre-hospital strategy for therapeutic intervention of fire victims.
Fire victims are exposed to the triple threat of thermal injury (skin and lungs), smoke toxicity (toxic or irritant gases and soots) and even trauma whose occurrences are somewhat independent one from the other but whose addition does sharply increase the probability of death of the victims. As the different victims of the same fire may not suffer from the same injuries, this triple threat must be looked for in each fire victim.
