Abstract
Respiratory failure occurs with some frequency in seriously burned patients, driven by a combination of inflammatory and infection factors. Inhalation injury contributes to respiratory failure in some burn patients via direct mucosal injury and indirect inflammation. In burn patients, respiratory failure leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome, with or without inhalation injury, is effectively managed using principles evolved for non-burn critically ill patients.
