Commonly Asked Questions
![Page 3: Blisters, Bandages and Beyond: Care of the Burn Patient ...Lee Faucher, MD • Airway • Burns • Circulation • Disaster • Equally Important Commonly Asked Questions • When](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071415/611100e70f04d7051359349b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• When should you intubate? – When there is an immediate concern for loss
of airway due to edema of the pharynx • Things to remember
– Big burns lead to a lot of edema all over – Prolonged time in an enclosed burning space
leads to a lot of edema – Flash burns to the face leads to no edema – When in doubt: Intubate!
Airway
![Page 4: Blisters, Bandages and Beyond: Care of the Burn Patient ...Lee Faucher, MD • Airway • Burns • Circulation • Disaster • Equally Important Commonly Asked Questions • When](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071415/611100e70f04d7051359349b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• The only definitive airway through the mouth is the endotracheal tube – A supraglottic airway can
become dislodged as burn edema progresses
– Every attempt must be made to replace it if it is used
Airway

Chemical • Never neutralize • Water, water, water,
water, water, water…… – Continue until the
patient tells you it has stopped burning
