Abstract:
Although the treatment of patients with burns combined with inhalation injury has achieved great success, from the perspective of epidemiology, inhalation injury is still the most common cause of death in mass burns. Such patients often suffered burns of large total body surface area, which is difficult to treat, with airway management as one of the core links. Physical airway clearance technique (ACT) acts on a patient's respiratory system by physical means, to discharge secretions and foreign bodies in the airway, achieve airway clearance, and improve gas exchange. In addition, the technique can prevent or alleviate many complications, thereby improving the clinical outcome of patients with inhalation injury. This article reviews the application of physical ACT in the field of inhalation injury, and to provide decision-making basis for clinical medical staff to choose physical ACT corresponding to the patient's condition.
