Inhalation Injury Treatment

Inhalation injury occurs when harmful substances are inhaled into the lungs, often from smoke or toxic gases. Treatment focuses on stabilizing the patient, ensuring they can breathe adequately. This may involve administering oxygen, using breathing support devices, or performing procedures to clear the airways. Medications to reduce lung inflammation and prevent infections may also be given. Monitoring in a hospital setting is crucial, as severe cases can lead to long-term respiratory issues. The goal is to restore normal lung function and promote healing, while addressing any complications that may arise from the exposure.
