Substance use and inhalation injury in adult burn patients: retrospective study of the impact on outcomes.
Kevin M KliftoLuis QuirogaC Scott HultmanPublished in: Burns & trauma (2019)
In patients admitted with an inhalational injury with less than or equal to 5% external burns, the presence of a substance and smoking use on admission provides a further risk of intubation and respiratory compromise. Substance use on admission poses a greater risk of longer intubation, ICU LOS, and hospital LOS. A higher potential for substance use should be suspected in this patient population with prompt treatment.
