[Diagnosis and intensive therapy of thermal and inhalation trauma].
The authors made an analysis of an experience with treatment of patients with a combined thermal inhalation injury in the Burn Center of the St. Petersburg Research Institute of emergency medical care named after I.I. Dzhanelidze for the recent years. A prognostic model with respect to the patient's life was worked out on the basis of complex estimation of the data of the depth and square of the injury of skin, severity of the inhalation trauma and age of the casualty. The authors propose a scale of estimation of the severity of the inhalation trauma with special reference to the probable outcome which allows a differentiated approach to choice of the treatment policy that finally favors reduction of lethality in the group under analysis.
