RESPIRATORY DYSFUNCTION OF PATIENTS WITH SEVERE BURN INJURY

Abstract

Summary: Dysfunctional changes in the upper respiratory tract in most cases
develop as a post-burn pathology. (1,2,12). After a burn, in 30-40% of patients, the
general condition worsens and vital organs fail. (,3,6,8,11,13,16). The most important
factors that damage the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract during IT are various
combustion products in a confined space. The development of mucosal edema is
primarily dependent on mediators such as histamine, bradykinin, prostacyclin and
bronchospasm, and pulmonary vascular resistance is associated with the release of
thromboxane and complement components (8.15).
